Pollard (Cousin Virgil) He was also in "Scrooged" with Bill Murray. He was a ghost that kinda followed Bill Murrays character around. Pretty good movie too. All heart warmin and such.

I gotta say I get kind of queasy reading and discussing how someone may have a negative demeanor. It seems like that could be hurtful if that person was to be reading about themselves. One can be timid, quiet and shy construing to someone that they don't know as being grumpy or as such and the truth could be more of the opposite. One could be having a bad day and someone see it in action with that person having the bad day as being grumpy, aggressive or of a negative demeanor. One in a hurry and on a time schedule with people helping to direct them to the affair or place they need to be on time could be construsted as being grumpy, hateful or of a negative demeanor. Seems to me no one has a perfect demeanor and maybe the negatives shouldn't be as expounded upon. I like to accentuate my fellow person's positive attributes. It makes for nicer reading & discussion and could be less hurtful is that person was to be reading or discussing too. Guess I will mosey back to my pickle stash, Sandi ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Aug 2000 19:26:27 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V2 #287 Hi All, Just wanted to share a little something . My cousin was a limo driver in the Napa Valley a few years back and had the pleasure of driving Andy Griffith from the airport to his hotel. He said Andy was the friendliest and nicest client he'd ever had and he gave my cousin a huge tip to boot! I've always suspected this was the case, but it sure was nice to hear.

It's great to see him popping up in roles like this. Who would have thought ... Barney's gone from ticketing the governor's limo to playing the governor himself. Bless his heart!

Just once! PhoneHimAl >>> You obviously haven't seen the hilarious episode in which Gomer eats Welsh Rarebit. It causes him to sleepwalk, and during his somnambulating, he really lets the sarge have it! - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: 8/18/00 8:48:09 PM Central Daylight Time From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Neil Coleman) Subject: Mayberry Days Photos For all those attending MD 2000. Do you have x-tra photos from past Mayberry Days that you don't know what to do with? Please bring them to MD for a photo table. There will be a table someplace, watch for details, for pictures from MD. Then, anyone that would like some can take the ones they want. How many times have you missed a picture because you ran out of film or the battery was dead. This will be a good way to help your fellow friends recapture some of those moments and get your own pictures straightened up (if you are like me and don't have them all organized). See ya in Mt. Airy!

But remember, this was a small town in the early 60's. That's the way it was! ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Aug 2000 23:53:59 -0400 (EDT) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Todd's bucket thoughts I really liked Todd's under-the-bucket thoughts about how Gomer changed from TAGS to GP-USMC. Gomer's entry into the Marines really was a test, just like his daddy said. Those of you who followed his show know how he really struggled in the beginning but how he seemed to turn himself around when he realized he was going to be the only one in his platoon who didn't pass his PFC exam. Gomer didn't want to let his daddy OR Sgt Carter down. He buckled down and really showed everyone. I think his speech change reflected his continuing education in the service; he began carrying himself more upright and proud...another benefit of his hitch in the Marines. Gomer also found confidence in the service...enough confidence to court the lovely Luanne Poovey! But Gomer always remembered his roots... everyday he went out and acted like someone!!!!!! ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 19 Aug 2000 00:56:02 -0400 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Otis sighting I just saw an episode of "Leave It To Beaver" where our very own Otis Campbell (Hal Smith) played a restaurant manager. He offered to swap the Beaver's brussel sprouts with another vegetable, but his parents wouldn't hear of it. He had on a nice suit and tie and was even sober (but I expect he'll get over it). Just curious if anyone else has seen that. Also noteworthy was that in the credits he was billed "Hal J. Smith". I don't remember ever seeing his middle initial before. Anyone know what the "J" stands for?

In "Barney's Sidecar" episode, there was an African American on the sidewalk laughing with the old "Wisenheimers" after they unhitched the sidecar, leaving Andy sitting there. ===== "Life moves pretty fast.

There was a famous football player who was helping to coach the boys and was living in Mayberry after his football career. Wasn't he African American? ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 19 Aug 2000 12:33:22 -0400 From: Lisa Jackson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Darlin' Romeena and that job-stealing Englishter > > I heard Howard Morris on The John Boy and Billy syndicated radio show the > other morning. He told about his new Ernest T. Official website: > http://www.ernestt.com/ > I am so glad to see this! I love Ernest T., almost as much as he loves his darlin' Romeena. I was able to tape the episode yesterday about Malcolm Merriweather and Ernest fighting over the crossing guard job. Boy, those tents and lanterns cost a lot! $12! I did notice that Andy wouldn't pay Ernest T. more than $5 since he was throwing rocks. It wouldn't have made for a very good show, but if I was Andy, I'd have paid him $12 just to get him to go away!!! ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 20 Aug 2000 10:51:07 -0400 From: "den57" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: VCR Alert-Andy of Mayberry According to the August 18th edition of Entertainment Weekly on Wednesday, August 23rd they will be airing ANDY OF MAYBERRY on the E!
