He hated pickles and when they filmed that episode, they had a bucket beside him. He'd take a bite (grudgingly) and then when he was off camera, he'd spit it in the bucket!! ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Jul 2000 16:32:25 -0700 From: "Leonard, Karen T." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Cheaper by the Dozen Just wanted to let folks know that according to Betty Lynn she was never in Cheaper by the Dozen. Although it appears occasionally in referenced-print, she was not in the movie. She's not sure how that rumor started......... ------------------------------ Date: 24 Jul 00 20:34:40 EST From: SANDRA SILS <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Nesselrode Pie Subject: Peggy and Nestlerode Pie According to Aunt Bee's Mayberry Cookbook, Nesselrode Pie is a gelatin, w= ater, egg, sugar, cream, and rum mixture. The sub-note under the title says "Perfect dessert for the garden club or after choir practice." If you wo= uld like the recipe just "e" me and I'll send it off to you.

Although she hates the out doors and can't stand guitar music.....it was a funny scene on the couch in the Taylor household when Barney and Thel try to fix Ange up! I think Lydia is really more Goober's style anyway....."We ate up all that candy....didn't have anything else to do!" She's right up there with Mary Grace.......they're both nice......real nice!!!!!! ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Jul 2000 21:15:05 -0400 From: "Jeff Koontz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Mayberry Days Silent Auction With about 2 months to go, it is time to start thinking about our = chapter's community service project, the 2nd Annual WMBUTBB Silent = Auction at Mayberry Days. Last year was very successful, raising $996 = for the Surry Arts Council. I hope those of you who will be at Mayberry = Days will consider donating some time to help, or better yet, bring = something for the auction. Even if you can't make it to Mt. Airy, we can = make arrangements to include your donation. Every item donated is tax = deductible as a charitable contribution. There are so many talented and creative people in WBMUTBB and this is a = chance to share your talents. Unique and hand-made items are especially = nice - things that you can't buy in the store. Last year's auction = included many items with a Mayberry theme - taking a regular item and = adding that TAGS touch, whether painted on, dressed up with trading = cards, or created from scratch by hand - such as a Christmas wreath, = towels, bbq apron, quote calendar, or binder with all 330 TAGS cards. = There was also autographed memorabilia, videos, and collectibles - if it = was Mayberry, it was welcomed. If you have a good idea for something to = create, share it with the digest. You may not be able to make it, but = someone else might. Please email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you have any questions or can = help that Saturday. I think we had a good time last year - there is not = too much to do once things are set up, so it is a great time to visit = with friends and meet new members. Surry Arts does so many things for the community and they use all funds = raised to promote the arts in so many positive ways. Please visit their = website at www.surryarts.org to learn more. As the biggest TAGSRWC = chapter, this is a great opportunity to make everyone's Mayberry Days = experience a little better and give back to our host town.=20 I look forward reading the digest with your ideas.

Thelma Lou had to go to Mt. Pilot (the only place around where you can get a good suit) to get her teeth fixed. I don't recall mention of a dentist....any help out there? >>> You've come to the right place! Mayberry did have at least one dentist. In "Ellie for Council," Otis' mother-in-law made an emergency visit to the dentist after Otis hit her in the mouth with a leg of lamb. >>>Also....was the "Gold Truck" episode the one and only appearance of Doodles Weaver..(AKA-Regis)? Was he not the father of Sigourney Weaver? >>> He also played postman George Bricker in "Aunt Bee's Brief Encounter," the episode where Andy hires a "handyman." Doodles (real name: Winstead Sheffield Weaver) was actually Sigourney's uncle. I believe her father was Pat Weaver, former president of NBC. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Jul 2000 22:04:48 -0500 From: "Paul Mulik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Forrest Lewis >>>From: Paul Laywell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Maybe I'm not hearing things correctly, but I thought the guy with the brake problems was Willie Jack? So which is it, Willie Jack or Billy Jack? And by the way, wasn't the actor who played this part the same fellow that played the owner of Jimmy the dynamite eating goat? That character's name was Fletcher "Fletch" Hudgins, wasn't it? >>> It's Willy (or maybe Willie), and yes, he's the same actor from The Loaded Goat (he played Cy Hudgins in that one). His name is Forrest Lewis and he appears in six different episodes as six different characters. BTW, the car with the bad brakes was also Otis' car and the Fun Girls' car in other episodes. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Jul 2000 23:42:53 -0400 From: Keith Grubb <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Doodles Weaver <<was the "Gold Truck" episode the one and only appearance of Doodles Weaver..(AKA-Regis)?<< I believe Doodles played the man who noticed the soft hands of the phony "handy man" played by Edgar Buchanan.

From his writing on the show you would think he was born and raised in Mayberry, North Carolina. Mal (Hasty) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 Jul 2000 00:14:20 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: digest #248, from DSNance re reply to mhsbowl You were right about the critical remark. mhsbowl shouldn't have made such a moulage out of a period. P.S. Allen, I just got back from a month's vacation in Illinois. Am I addressing these replies right? (While I was on vacation, I bought "Internet for Dummies" and found out all the mistakes I had been making.) If I'm still not doing it right, don't hesitate to tell me - I'll keep trying until I get it right... ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Jul 2000 21:52:39 -0500 From: "Paul Mulik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: hospital >>>...Also why did he remove Opie's tonsils at his office, when there was a hospital in Mayberry. Barney referred to the hospital in several episodes, one when he delivered books to the hospital for Helen so she could picnic with Andy. And then in another episode Barney told Andy he was so funny he "should go up to the hospital and take the wheels off the wheelchairs." >>> True, a hospital is mentioned several times (in one episode, Peggy tells Andy that she's "on duty at the hospital") but we don't know that it's actually in Mayberry. I always figured the hospital was in Mt. Pilot. Speaking of Sam Becker, Andy states in that episode that he has witnessed the deliveries of 100 babies. I wonder when he ever had the opportunity to do that? In those days, men were almost NEVER allowed in the room, not even for the births of their own children. I suppose the average country sheriff might see two or three babies delivered during his career, but a hundred? - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: 7/24/00 11:11:35 PM Central Daylight Time From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [none] Wow! Joanna Moore - mother of Tatum and Griffith O'Neal! I never would have dreamed! But she was a great girlfriend of Andy - loved the way she stood up to him, and made him be himself even though she was rich. But still, Helen was the one... ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 Jul 2000 06:29:09 -0400 From: Bob Weatherspoon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: along came Opie My family just recently got a beagle puppy. After considering many names, we decided on Opie Taylor. My children are growing up and were lonley and needed someone to play with and along came Opie. How many others on the digest have pets named after characters on the show? "Just what can you do with a grown woman Paw?"

I do think that he had a loaded goat at one time in the series! Is this the ONLY time that someone in Mayberrry was issued a citation by Andy? ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 Jul 2000 06:58:48 +0200 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Kenneth G.
