I would highly recommend subscribing to The Bullet (the official newsletter
of TAGSRWC). It has all the coverage you are looking for and much more.
You can even subscribe online at www.tagsrwc.com. The next issue will be
celebrating 40 years of TAGS and now is the best time to start your
subcription. Your next best source is Allan's website at WMBUTBB.
And congratulations to WBMUTBB members Elizabeth Bunce and Doug "Rafe
Hollister" Garretson for answering all of Miss Crumps Quiz from the March
issue!

That is very easy!!! I would want to be Mary Grace Gossage so I could
dance with that sweet boy Gomer! I can't imagine anything nicer than
having a boy go all out the way Gomer went for Mary Grace. To have a
sweet boy worry if he was good enough for ME! What could be better? And
quite frankly, I have always felt that Mary Grace was a diamond in the
rough. Sure, she was a bit plain in the face but she had a beautiful
smile. And in case none of you guys ever noticed, Mary Grace had a
pretty voluptuous figure! And man, could she dance!

TAGS fans,
It was wondered what we would be like if suddenly zapped into a TV
show (a la "Pleasantville"). It occurred to me that, at least in my case,
it would probably be a lot like the "Stranger in Town" episode. I'd be the
outsider who knows all these people I've never met.

TAG fan Dick Kandalec wrote me to ask if I could help him find out who the
fabled Mr. Schwump was in real life. I am using the Digest to reply in case
other readers might be able to help...since I don't have the foggiest who the
elusive Schwump is or was. Can someone else assist distraught Dick?....Harvey

Yo,
Wee's just sittin round wonderin if Andy ever got to
hear the gossip on Myra Koonce as was about to be told
by deputy Barney Fife(in the episode"The shoplifter")
but every-time he would start to tell Andy about Myra
he would get interrupted. Does anybody out there know
"the rest of the story"? I know you all ain't ones to
spread gossip but I feel the WBMUTBB members have a
right to know.

I think it was Paul who first posted here that it was Johnny Coons. I'm
assuming that he was referring to the end credits from "Goober Takes A
Car Apart", I think it was. Listed as "Man #1 or #2, I can't remember
which, it said Johnny Coons. This episode was one of the only ones
where he spoke, and the only one where he was listed in the credits.

Hey Dawn - how many sandwiches you reckon you can eat in a day? Better
pack a sack of 'em and a bottle (some picalilli relish) to go with.
Check out the WBMUTBB pages for advance notice of events or subscribe
yourself to The Bullet (excellent photography - just look at the detail in
the ribbon on her foot) to find all about the Mayberry goings on.

Subject: Case of the Missing Guest room
Been under the bucket and came up with this...the Taylor house must be
possessed by the spirit of Count Isvan Telecky because it appears that
their guest room has a habit of disappearing and reappearing. Here's
what I mean: When the "Man in a Hurry" was going to stay overnight, Opie
was gonna have to 'adventure sleep' in order to give Mr Tucker his bed.
That just says "no guest room" to me. Then in the episode where Gomer
gets fired, Andy puts him up in the mysterious guest room.
When Goober got whiplash, he took over Andy's bed, leaving Andy to sleep
on the "cot in the spare room" That doesn't exactly describe the lovely
guest room that cousin Gloria stayed in when she came for a visit. Yet
when Bee's baby sister came for a visit, Uncle Ollie had to bunk with
Andy. I assume Bee and her sister doubled up 'cause if the guest room
was around, wouldn't Ollie and his wife have slept there? But when
Malcom Merriweather came back to Mayberry, he stayed in the guest room
that Aunt Bee hadn't cleaned up that week! With the guest room going
'poof!' in and out, it has to be the work of the Count....or maybe some
parallel universe in the wall where the guest room slips in and out of.
Anyone out there got any thoughts on this?
~the groovy misspoovey, who has 'adventure slept' a few times in her
life~

I'm not real sure about this, but I believe there are several levels of
court
cases for which a person can be called for jury duty. Local cases would
be in the
county in which the juror lives, but I think district or federal cases
might be
heard in the "seat" of the district, which could be in a neighboring
county.

I would want to be Opie, in just about any episode, but particularly one that
has Opie on summer vacation. Why? Just to experience being a carefree child
again, in a lovely town like Mayberry, surrounded by people who love and
support me....Not that I have it that bad. I have a great life and am very
grateful for it, but to experience one summer as a child again....imagine it!

In digest #278, Mr. Schwump asked:
"If you could be put in a character's place on TAGS for one episode, who
would it be and what episode?"
This may sound a little odd, but I think I'd like to be the [first] dog that
Opie brought into the courthouse (the "trembly one") in "Dogs Dogs Dogs."
I'd enjoy eating those Mr. Cookie Bars from Barn's lunch! Plus, what better
owner could one have, even temporarily, than dear Opie?

Subject: Mayberry at Pigeon Forge
For all you TAGS fans who were unable to attend the Mayberry event at
Pigeon Forge, you missed an outstanding experience. The show's promoter and
TAGS fan, Tim McAbee, "done us all proud" by putting together one of the
most entertaining TAGS shows I've attended, and I've attended quite a few.
Hats off to Tim and all who assisted him in this endeavor.
I enjoyed getting teased by Mayberry Deputy David Browning under the
spotlights (I was sitting in the front row) and took it all in stride in the
manner in which it was delivered. David's a real hoot.
I had the opportunity to close the theatre with a handful of die-hards who
were still in line with me waiting to see Betty Lynn and get a few
autographs. She's so gracious she wants to spend as much time as possible
with each fan. It was well worth the wait, even though it was around 1 a.m.
by the time we departed the premises and headed to the parking lot filled
with just four cars. But I wouldn't have traded the evening for the world.
I now look forward to Mayberry Days in September and the Big Daddy of them
all, the 40th Anniversary Splash that Judge Joel Laird is staging Oct. 7 in
Birmingham, Ala.
