He also played the venerable Mr. Whittaker on the radio series "Adventures in Odyssey", if I'm not mistaken, up until his death. What a great voice! I miss him.

Looks like I've been a little redundant! That's what I get for reading my digests out of order.

If you could move to Mayberry and take a job there, what would it be?" Been reading all the replies and giving this a lot of thought. Don't want to put anyone out of a job so I've decided, I want to be the first female deputy of Mayberry. Of course back then, I wouldn't have to capture bad guys, just do the paperwork, answer the phone, and take care of the occasional female prisoner so she couldn't tempt Andy & Barn. I could share those great lunches Aunt Bee brings to the courthouse, talk to Sarah and keep up on the gossip, help Thelma Lou keep Barney safe from Juanita and all sorts of other little jobs. Of course, the uniform wouldn't be that great, but the rest of the job would be a dream.

Of course I'm always gratified when I see >the bear do it for Andy. I beleive we all love Mayberry because it is a place of poetic justice. One reaps what they sow in Mayberry. If only the rest of the world were like that huh? When Mayor Stoner whacks on Andy's badge with the jail key I would've been tempted to snatch the key out of his hand but Andy knows that HE'll be re-elected. Mayors come and go in Mayberry. As a member of the town councel Andy seems to be on even terms with the Mayor - but prehaps the reason he puts up with so much is that the Mayor can write "to the Governor" and get Andy is "all kinds of trouble"! Best of luck to you and yours! Rev. Joe ===== If you believe what you like in the gospel, and reject what you don't like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself.

The original Fred was Bill Thompson, replaced by Alan Reed. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 6 Jan 2001 08:39:15 -0600 From: "Paul Mulik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Andy's kids >>>I also have a question for all of you trained noticers....... When did the door in Aunt Bea's kitchen move to the back wall??? Was it when they went to color ?? It troubles me!!! >>> Yes, it was between the 5th and 6th seasons. >>>Also..someone asked me the other day if any of Andy Griffeth's kids were still alive and how old they were. I told them I'd consult the pros. Do any of ya'll know? >>> Andy's son Sam Andy Griffith died a few years ago. As far as I know, his daughter Dixie is alive and well; I guess she'd be in her 40s now. - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 6 Jan 2001 10:11:29 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V3 #6 In a message dated 01/05/2001 10:50:25 PM Pacific Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: << My job's making me weary.

It's been preying on my mind and I'm very happy for Mr. Dowell. Meanwhile, I'm tickled to read LauraLee's postings once again; as usual, she's a scream!!!

And am I the only one that was reminded of the episode where Howard bought Floyds building and they could not reach an agreement on the rent? Of course they worked that out too, Life imitating Mayberry again! As for a job in Mayberry, I would like to work over at the "Lang-u-ray" store.

I enjoyed reading the article about the Snappy Lunch. Seems that the ending is happy, just like in the TAGS episodes! Speaking of TAGS episodes, this story made me think of when Howard bought the barber shop building and there were problems when he raised the rent on Floyd. But that had a happy ending too!! I guess if I was a Mayberrian, I would like to work in the school with Helen. I mean, she was Opie's teacher for a long time, but there had to be other teachers for the other grades! So I'd be one of the teachers in the school. (Really, I'm a speech therapist in a school, but a teacher is close enough. I think I'd teach kindergarten or first grade.) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 6 Jan 2001 10:48:46 -0600 From: "Rick Willis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Tear Jerker <<The epilogue of the Tina Andrews episode . . . had to be one of the all time tear jerkers. Andy and Aunt Bee sitting on the front porch talking about missing Barney...that scene seemed very real. >> I thought so, too. There seemed to be a lot of genuine Andy Griffith sentiment between the lines. When he said, "There's only one Barney Fife," I couldn't help thinking that was a genuine tribute to Don Knotts (with all due respect to "Warren" and the other characters who tried to fill the gap after Don left). The look on Aunt Bee's face before the scene faded out seemed to express for the whole audience how much we missed Barney. - -- "Do the tears on your pillow bespeak the pain that's in your heart?" - --Rick "Dud Wash" Willis ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 6 Jan 2001 12:38:29 -0500 (EST) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Frances Andrews) Subject: Re: Inauguration 2001 - Raleigh, NC Just got through watching our new governor's inauguration here this a.m. Our beloved Andy was there - gave a toast to the new governor and all us "tarheels" - It was so amazing to see him here in "real time" - he walks a little slower but still has that warm smile that we all know. He got quite an ovation (even more than the new governor) - He looked like he was happy to be there. He is truly loved and admired here in N.C. Just wanted to share with all my Mayberry friends. Take care - Frances (who is Proud to be a Tarheel (college too!) Also, if I had been lucky enough to shake his hand, I wouldn't wash it either!!!! ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 6 Jan 2001 01:56:01 -0600 From: Fran W Elmore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Mayberry Job I would love to have Floyd's job (sorry Allan!!). Does something he loves, visits his friends all day, in slow times sits in front of his shop and passes the time with passers-by. Only in Mayberry. You think Mayberry is ready for a female barber by this time? Also, I'm assuming Andy's health is better since he's taking part in the inauguration. Anyone have an update? If this has been covered alot, so sorry, I've been out of the Maybery loop. Fran ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 6 Jan 2001 10:18:47 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: My job I guess if I lived in Mayberry I would be the assistant gas station attendant. I probably know as much about cars as Gomer did in the early days. Just remember that air and water are free, but we do make a charge for gas and oil, then defer all mechanical issues to Wally. This job seems to provide enough spare time to hang out at the diner, courthouse and barber shop. Plus I would be available to be a part time deputy in case of emergency, flood or natural disaster. AND TAKE THAT GUN OUTTA YOUR MOUTH! jACK ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 6 Jan 2001 13:42:15 -0500 (EST) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Mayberry employment What a great question! "What job would you do if you moved to Mayberry?" First off, an earlier post refered to Olive and then another poster said she was confusing her with Juanita. I don't think she was confused... Unlike 'Nita, Olive WAS seen! She told Barney, after taking his huge breakfast order, that "it did her heart good to see a thin man eat". I myself, would also love to work at the diner. What better way to keep up on all the events and gossip of the day? Listening in on Juanita's phone calls, making deliveries to the courthouse, counting how many times Goober comes in to eat and just serving all that 'delish' food! And in Mayberry, I know I would never be working on Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Years or Easter! And I would feel safe on account of Barney's 'security checks'! ~the groovy misspoovey who doesn't like her main entree concealed in a heavy sauce~ ------------------------------ Date: 6 Jan 2001 16:23:34 EST From: SANDRA SILS <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Snappy Lunch Glad to hear 'bout the Snappy Lunch. We have friends getting ready to move to Salisbury, NC, so winging by Mt. Airy for a pork chop "sammich" will be in our future, I'm sure, when we go to visit them. If I was to choose a job in Mayberry, I think I would be the replacement manicurist for Ellen Brown when she went back to Pierre. I know Emma took it, but she's rather "sickly" and could use a break herself.
