And I also would like to thank everyone that mailed her a card or gift, this has meant so much to her. I will still be mailing her cards, etc., so please keep um coming!!! She will remain in the hospital for apx. 2-3 weeks, she will be going through physical therapy once they start getting her up and about. So lets still remember her, especially now, she is all alone, her daughter lives in another country, so all she has her friends. But again thank you all for the kindness that you all have shown. Sincerely, Kathy Taylor ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Dec 2000 14:55:01 -0800 (PST) From: Joe and Sandra Causby <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Mayberry Sighting Good Morning Mayberry Neighbors I was watching an old episode of Gomer Pyle, USMC today. Gomer has a really bad cold and goes to sick call and then winds up in bed. Sgt Carter doesn't believe him calls the Dr. and the DR. had two calls coming at the same time and misunderstood who was on which line and thought he was talking to a man about a horse or mule that was on its last leg. He tells all this stuff to Sgt Carter which makes it sound as tho Gomer is not long for this world. It was hilarious because the Dr. thought he was talking to someone about the horse/mule. Anyway, later when the real guy shows up about the horse, it is none other than Fletch who owns Jimmy, the loaded goat. I guess he has this sick horse in addition to a dynamite eating goat. He looked and talked the same and seemed just like the same character, tho he didn't have the same name. "Maybe now, you'll believe me when I tell you that comin' up town is no big deal".

I watched 1 of my mom's Columbia House >tapes, "Goober Greats." In the closing crdits of "Goober takes a car apart" >these names were listed. Burning a Birth Certificate? You got one of those wood burnin' sets like Opie had? I hope you did it outside and on a separate piece of wood. You remember what happened when Opie tried it directly on the front porch, or inside the courthouse, dontcha?

She's much better but still in a lot of pain. Her internet service has been down for some time now so she's not been able to retrieve or send messages. She asked me to convey her deepest gratitude for the cards she's received from you all. Some thoughtful Mayberrian even sent her a gold truck! And she's proud to have gotten a card from Mr. Harvey Bullock; he's not only a super-talented writer but a prince of a fellow too!! It will probably be quite awhile before she's up to communicating on a regular basis so she wanted to be sure everyone knew how very much all your thoughts, prayers and kindnesses have meant to her.

But I sure do enjoy the ones that pay good. So I love doing it, but I also love getting paid to act, Can't I be a Professional Amateur? So I should be let back in to the pageant, If not to be Miss Mayberry then maybe to be Mr. Mayberry or maybe their son Phil "sick as a dog, but having the time of my life" Fox ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Dec 2000 20:56:51 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Burns We all need to remember Allans' rule about negativity. Although Jack Burns was maybe lacking chemistry for Mayberry, he was hilarious as 1/2 of the comedy team "Burns and Shreiber". Their routine always happened in a cab, which consisted of two chairs, and Avery Shreiber was always the driver. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Dec 2000 20:58:27 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Turn the radio on. That's all interesting, but would you turn the radio back on? I want to hear Leonard Blush!! ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Dec 2000 21:47:11 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Jack Burns <<Anyway, I've heard Jack Burns was a little bitter over his treatment when they removed his character, and it would sure be nice to contact the man to let him know that he's appreciated for his contribution to the show. Does anyone know if he's still with us?>> I'm almost positive he's still alive and would probably love to hear someone say they appreciated him as Warren. I just don't know how to get in touch with him to say that...

Kinda the defining "prop" of his character!! I'm also sort of fond of his [illegal] hot plate that he keeps in his room at Mrs. Mendlebright's for cooking chili. Jolly holidays to you all! - --Dawn in Kansas City ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 Dec 2000 11:23:12 -0700 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Pink Center TAGS fans, Just opened another bottle of my favorite soft drink and under the label it said, "Please try again." Now, that really frosts me. I'm not saying I expect to win the flashlight right off, but you would think I would get a free one now and then! I mean, I've got some money invested in this! I think I'll go file a report with the bunko squad after I get back from my bingo game.

It's brand new, never been opened and available to the first taker for only $25.00 plus $4.00 shipping. That's a GREAT price! E-mail me if you're interested. You should receive it by Christmas. - -Bob ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 Dec 2000 21:27:38 -0600 From: "Paul Mulik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Jack Burns >>>Anyway, I've heard Jack Burns was a little bitter over his treatment when they removed his character, and it would sure be nice to contact the man to let him know that he's appreciated for his contribution to the show. Does anyone know if he's still with us? Greg >>> For several years now, Jack Burns has kept busy providing the voice of Vince, the crash-test dummy. His partner in these long-running ads is Larry, voiced by Lorenzo Music (Carlton the doorman from Rhoda, and also Garfield the cat). A few years ago, one of the crash-test dummy TV spots featured Barney Fife! Anybody remember this one? They used footage from the episode "Lawman Barney" and combined it with shots of the two dummies in their car. The dummies said something about not wearing seat belts, then they cut to Barney saying, "You fellers must be strangers around here; I'd better straighten you out! You just happen to be violating Rule 8, Section B!" The commercial ended with Barney jerking his thumb and saying, "Let's get that vehicle outa here!" - --Paul ------------------------------ End of wbmutbb-digest V2 #397 ***************************** ************************************************** ~ Visit our sponsor ~ Weaver's Department Store ~ http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/weavers/ ************************************************** You must send your comments to the Digest from the address you used to join WBMUTBB or your message will not be posted.
