If you don't see a message you sent to the WBMUTBB Digest between 11pm EST on Monday night and about 2pm EST on Tuesday, the reason would be because they were lost. Sorry about that. Quick note, if you have plans to buy some Mayberry stuff this Christmas season, now is the time to get your orders into Weaver's to avoid the rush that will come near the end. http://mayberry.com/tagsrwc/weavers/ Remember, Jim Clark fills EVERY order by his very own hand so be kind to Jim and order early. I don't think he sleeps the last few days before the shipping deadline is reached. "He's a good boy..."

Judith and daughter ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 14 Nov 2000 19:37:21 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RICHARD KELLY In the Digest of 11/13 David Millard quoted a line by Barney Fife in RETURN TO MAYBERRY wherein Barney gave thanks to a certain "Richard Kelly" for painting the warning sign about a monster in the lake...despite " painful arthitis in his knuckles."David wondered if it was only a coincidence that "Richard Kelly" is also the name of the author of THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW (1981) the first book published about TAGS, and still very definitive.' David, it was no coincidence. When the beloved Everett Greenbaum and I were writing "Return", Richard Kelly's name just happened to flash in my mind. I had met him and his charming wife Barbara when they came to Hollywood and visited me and my erstwhile partner Ray Allen at Twentieth Fox Studios where we were producer/writers on the LOVE BOAT series. Mr, Kelly (Acually DOCTOR Kelly he was a professor of English at the University of Tennessee)had become an enormous fan of TAGS when he was an undergraduate at Duke University. He had become known for his scholarly writings of the Victoria era, so a book on TAGS was quite a departure. However, it has enjoyed an enduring success. SERENDIPPPPPITY STRIKES! It so happened Bob Sweeney was on the lot directing a "Love Boat" episode. We nabbed him at lunch break and all revelled in swapping stories, a writer/director/critic symposium. It was great! I kept in touch sporarically with the Kelly's, but somehoiw didn't get around to telling them we had dropped his name into "Return." The first he knew was when he was watching "Return to Mayberry" on it's premiere showing..and suddenly up it popped...to his total surprise and delight. Admittedly a small thing, but it did serve as thanks to this most gifted, affable , honorable Mayberrian. Okay Paul MEWlic; you're in the next script. I promise.

The part I saw was great and I'd like to see the whole thing. Does anybody know if they are planning on repeating that show? >>> That particular special has aired at least a dozen times, and it's sure to be on dozens more.

Thank you very much. I could stay on it for days, weeks maybe even. They must be very busy though because the " Publisher is Busy " notice comes up a lot but it is well worth the wait. They have everything for old movie and radio gossip buffs like me could ever ask for, and more. Thank you again.

Yesterday I caught a Gomer episode and noticed the credits included Frank Myers as the Production Manager. Did Frank move over to Gomer when that show started or could you actually be Production Manager for 2 shows at the same time? dan ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 Nov 2000 07:51:54 CST From: "John O. Dalke, GRI" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: Subject: Thanks to Allan, Jan, Adam and all... Subject: Thanks to Allan, Jan, Adam and all... I just wanted to say another big "THANK YOU!" to Allan, Jan and Adam, as well as everyone else here at WBMUTBB for such a great "place" to forget about what's going on out in the "real world", even if it's just for a little while! Actually, I think TAGS is much closer to reality for most folks than what is currently going on in Washington (on BOTH sides)!!!

I just found a few shots of Ron with the makeup and thought I would share them. The 1st shot is of Ron in full makeup directing while still wearing his trademark IMAGINE ball cap. The second shot is of Ron and Jim Carrey both dressed as the Grinch. Also, I have included a shot of Clint Howard in his makeup as "Who Bris", the assistant to Mayor May Who. http://images.honesty.com/imagedata/h/047/29/20472939.jpg http://images.honesty.com/imagedata/h/047/29/20472940.jpg http://images.honesty.com/imagedata/h/047/29/20472938.jpg Hope everyone enjoys these. Take Care, Bart ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 Nov 2000 10:48:22 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V2 #364 Hi, all.. I don't often write to the Digest, though I do read it, especially the "Prayers and Praises". This time, I have a prayer request. My sweet little Dad, who will be 83 in December, is mentally failing, and fairly rapidly. He knows it at this point, and is frightened. As it progresses, he may become less aware of the problem. He lives alone in an "independent living" retirement residence where meals are available in a dining room, there are panic buttons in each room, and the residents sort of keep an eye on each other, as does the staff. I'm wondering now just how long this will be possible, as he does some mildly bizarre things pretty regularly. My mom passed away suddenly 1 1/2 yrs ago, and he has been just lost ever since. She had been covering for him for quite a while, which quickly became evident after her passing. This led to the retirement residence. He doesn't want to live with me, and he's probably right. I work 12-hr shifts, and he would be alone here for about 14 hrs at a stretch, then I'd be sleeping when I did come home. He has much more attention and stimulation where he is, along with some structure to his daily life. He has said repeatedly that he wants God to take him home, so he can be with my mom. He does have some physical "miseries" as well. I have no problem with that. I know the road his illness can take, and I don't want my strong and independent father to be reduced to the total helplessness and confusion that lies ahead. If God chooses to take him soon, before he totally loses his dignity, I will accept that with gratitude. If He chooses to leave him here, then I would ask prayer for serenity for my father, and strength for myself and my family. In all things, I ask for God's will to be done. My apologies for the length of this - I guess I just had to "tell somebody"! Lanni - a.k.a.

I'm also still looking for someone who may have videotaped portions of the Mayberry Anniv. In Mt. Airy, N.C. I have only been a member for about 2 months and, I, like so many others, enjoy my "get-away" to Mayberry every evening and enjoy reading all the comments. Thanks for any help you can be on the above requests. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 Nov 2000 11:57:28 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Prayer & Praises Hey folks, Oops, Lanni got confused and emailed the WBMUTBB Digest an email that should have gone to the WBMUTBB Prayers & Praises mailing list. I'm sorry about that and I just wanted to make sure that everybody knew that it was a mistake. Please do not send prayer requests to the WBMUTBB Digest. If you would like to be a part of the WBMUTBB Prayers & praises mailing list, just send an email to me ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and I'll sign you up. That list is for members of the WBMUTBB Chapter to share their needs and joy with others of like mind. It's a good way for folks in our little community to draw closer together and it keeps the Digest from becoming something it shouldn't really be. So, that said, let's keep Religion AND Politics off the Digest as much as we can so that everyone will feel comfortable when they visit us here in Mayberry. Thanks!!

We almost lost her as she was at one time within hours of her great reward. Praise the Lord she is finally home but on bedrest with doctor visits twice weekly. I spoke with her today and got permission to post her address so you all can send cards, and certainly special prayers. She is very weak but trying to keep up her usually-perky spirits and I know she'd love to hear from everyone who cherishes her comical observations on Mayberry!
