(Re: "Mayberry Memories") ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon, 9 Oct 2000 15:54:29 -0700 From: "Kevin and Dawn Roberts" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: House beside the church Does anybody know who's house is besides the church? I saw it in one episode and I could'nt beleive it. I don't know, really, but is it Otis? I know he mentioned going to choir practice once. That Otis is a good guy even tho he has a little drinking problem. Hey, Otis is a good guess and he is a clue, but it's not him. Care to try again?

In one I saw last night (about Lady Mayberry) the "Mayberry Centennial" is referred to. Since the show was set in the early 60s, this means that Mayberry was founded during the Civil war, 1861-65. >>> This came up during the Mayberry Days trivia contest a few years ago. I "missed" it (even though I was correct) because the quiz organizers had based the question on conflicting information from different episodes. "A Plaque for Mayberry" also establishes that Mayberry existed during the Revolutionary War (Nathan Tibbs helped George Washington capture an entire regiment). It's just another of those little inconsistencies the inevitably crept in over the years. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 9 Oct 2000 15:42:15 -0500 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: reunion-Howard Morris Hello all. I don't post very often, but I thought I should in this case. I attended the Mayberry reunion in Birmingham and loved every minute of it. All the guests were very friendly (and I met and shook hands with almost all of them). While I was in line to get an autograph, I overheard someone in the line next to me say that Howard Morris (Ernest T.) was very rude. She had said that he was rude to her little daughter and wouldn't let her kiss him on the cheek. She seemed very upset about it. Now I don't know if that was true or not, but he was friendly enough to me. Did anyone else experience anything like this? I sure hope not. Maybe I was just hearing things. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 9 Oct 2000 13:56:24 -0400 From: "Paul Gilkes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Mayberry 40th in Birmingham For those who braved the elements in Birmingham, Ala., for Joel Laird's celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Andy Griffith Show, it was the greatest. The warmth of the TAGS fans and TAGS stars more than made up for the unseasonably chilly temperatures. My hats off to Joel, his wife, Whitney, and all those volunteers who helped pull the event off. I have the distinct privilege of having the opportunity to drive Joel's Mayberry squad car (I've got to get me one of those!). And to finally cap off the weekend, our own Ernest T. Bass, Howard Morris, and son, David, were taking the same flight out of Birmingham that I was Sunday morning on our respective trips home. I can't wait for the next get-together. Mayberrily yours, Paul Gilkes Sidney, Ohio ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 09 Oct 2000 17:28:35 EDT From: "Maureen Kowalski" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Danville Doings n' other stuff Hellooooooooooo Dolllllllllllll, Could whoever posted about the Mayberry Days celebration taking place in Danville VA at the beginning of December please either repost it or email the particulars to me. I might actually be able to get to that one, Lord willing and the creek don't rise. I caught the My 3 Sons marathon this weekend and saw Mr. Tucker(?) of the What's Your Hurry episode play Bub's Irish cousin who still got sent to his room for sassing his 103 year old mother. I caught a commercial for TAGS tapes,called the number and got the particulars. Phone number is 1-800-257-1234 The first tape is 4.99 + an additional 3.99 shipping charge. Every additional tape is 19.95 + shipping. The tapes are 2 hours in length, 4 episodes on each tape(makes sense). If you call, you have to specifically ask about the TAGS tapes as they use this number to sell more than one product, and when the operator answered the phone, all he said was "Hello, this is Mike," with no other means of identification.

Can anyone tell me the lineup and the ticket information (contact person) as well as the location of the event? Thanks, DW ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 9 Oct 2000 19:52:01 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Birmingham Well, I just don't know what to say, after all the things everyone else has had to post about the Anniversary event in Birmingham. Judge Joel Laird was just the best to put this event on for all us TAGS nuts, and if I lived in Alabama, he'd get MY vote, but since I don't, I guess I'll just have to give him my verbal support. LOL It was just great getting to see all the stars, as well as all my Mayberry friends. It sure was cold for this Florida boy, but I stuck it out. I drove almost 600 miles for this, and I wasn't about to quit on it. The stars sure made it worth the suffering. LOL Thanks again, Judge, and thanks to Allan for saving Ernest T, and David Browning for doing such great jobs on their impersonations of two GREAT actors. I don't know what I'd do without all you wonderful Mayberry folks in my life. Thanks, Emmett & Martha <A HREF="http://www.tagsrwc.com";>Them Timers are Tricky</A> http://www.tagsrwc.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 9 Oct 2000 22:16:47 -0400 From: "Hady, J. ET1" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: The Dillards Hey Y'all....I don't recall if it was posted here....Just wanted y'all to remember Rodney and Doug Dillard as their Mom passed away and was buried this past Wednesday. Jim ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2000 07:35:08 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: lifesaver man Well, Allan, everyone is making a big molouge out of the save you made on stage at the reunion. It was indeed outstanding! I heard Howard Morris on "The Big Show" Monday morning and he credited you with saving his life. I guess you know what that means...fresh fish for breakfast, enough firewood for seven winters, a helper for cake-baking, free miscellaneous vehicle parts, a clean squad car, etc. Maybe you'd better come up with a plan to save Howard's life so you two will be even! Seriously, Mr. Morris said something to the effect that he was surprised at all us fans sitting out there in the freezing cold just to see the show. He talked about how well he was treated here in my home state. But the funniest thing he said was "I don't have Parkinson's (disease), I was just cold! I have never been so cold in my life". So, THANKS, LIFESAVER MAN!! The show wouldn't have been the same without him!

I've had some interest in it, perhaps even attending myself... Dixon ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2000 16:46:57 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Where Are My Posh Puffs?? (Re: "Mayberry Memories") Hey To All, I am out of town and was browsing through a bookstore (to which I get a discount) and Land Sakes! What did I find??? "Mayberry Memories"...I am so in awe, this is really a great book with a lot of work that went into it! Good work Mr. Beck and Mr. Clark! I just bought it but from what I was reading, it already hit the soft spot in my heart (which isn't hard lately) and had me reaching for a posh puff with the memories of Frances Bavier. I also want to say thank you very much Mr. Bullock for such great stories. Your first is my very favorite! I was lucky to get it on tape during the last TVLand marathon and it was episodes like "The Pickle Story" and "The Loaded Goat" which helped me through the critical condition of my companion cocker spaniel. All of the TAGS were and are a truly blessing but I believe it was the laughter that has helped me through this period and now through my grieving process from my loss of him two weeks ago today. I have read in different places how much the TAGS series has meant to people but to still be able to help some 40 years later, is certainly something to be very proud to a part of. Thanks Harvey! Well I would say back to the Pickle Stash but I am out of town visiting my pain doctors. So guess I will hit the "Pickle Stash" tomorrow when I get home.
