The park where the event was held is very pretty. The squad cars looked fantastic and, of course, Allan and David did their usual outstanding jobs entertaining the folks and keeping things moving. It was nice to see our Presiding Goober, Jim Clark, and so many other Mayberry folks out there. I really enjoyed the day and look forward to the 2nd Annual Mayberry Squad Car Nationals being even bigger and better.

Harvey's elixer. I had a small milk of magnesia bottle filled with some special recipe from the Morrison sister's flower makin' machine but it burned a hole in my suitcase as I was crossing the NC border. I guess I shouldn't have lied about it being Ernest Tubb's birthday. When will I learn - when will I ever learn. Linda - the smell of witch hazel drives this Goober CRAZY. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Mar 2001 22:53:29 -0500 From: "tommy merricks" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: gomer Another example of how true to life TAGS is........Remember when Andy tried to talk Gomer out of enlisting in the Marines? Gomer said ( and i paraphrase) my pa told me that one day i would have to face a challenge and he wouldn't be around to help me...and this is one of those times...It would just break my spirit Andy. I am facing one of those times as my Dad passed away yesterday and i am the thrust into the leader position in my family. He was in a car accident in October and not a day has gone by that i did not think of Gomer in that scene. My Dad once told the doctor that he had to hang on that he thought i wasn't ready. Well I'm gonna step up to the challenge cause i dont want to "break my my spirit" Its amazing what we can learn if we just listen..........

But I think it's the background music that makes this scene even more poignant. The way it "swells" up and then begins a quick fall in the notes (hey, I'm no music major here) but it sort of grabs me, you know? But it's the story of life that this show gets us all thinking about that makes it a little different than the usual Andy. The path not taken, how one choice could have affected many lives. What IF Andy and Sharon (?) had married? Would they have stayed in Mayberry since they had different ideas about the future and probably would have had to compromise? How would that have affected Barney? Aunt Bee? Opie? "It makes you think." And it's knowing we all have our moment to dance in the sun, and it's a fine dance; but it can never last long enough, though while we're dancing we never think of it ending. But it ends. And without realizing it, the dance becomes a walk. Still the sun shines and it can be a fine walk. Especially if you're lucky enough to have someone to walk with you. And when we come home, we have our Andys' to look at. Now, if that ain't fine living, I don't know what is. Laura Lee Hobbs, pretty close to the end of the dance, but liking the walk just fine, and still the best Gold Truck Watcher on God's Green Earth ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Mar 2001 23:26:07 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Squad Car Nationals Hey Folks, One other quick note about the "Nationals" is the Johnny Phillips WON the trivia contest by answering 19 of 20 questions!!!!!
