But does anyone remember why Andy didn't want the preacher on the bowling team? Because "sometimes we let words slip" or something like that. Apparently when *we* weren't around they let some four-lettered things fly!

There was Flip Conroy a professional football player, there was a congressman who returned to Mayberry to retire, there was a movie star Tina Andrews (Irene), there was Jim Lindsey who made it big in music, then Helen published a book, Aunt Bee had her own cooking show on tv, a story was published about Andy and Barney, a movie was made about Andy, Aunt Bee appeared on a quiz show in Hollywood and won lots of prizes, an official government Russian summit was held in Mayberry, the T men selected Mayberry as a bogus route for a gold shipment, and a movie was made about Mayberry in a very early episode. Howard appeared on a talent show. And we can't forget that Keevey Hazelton the famous singer came to Mayberry and Aunt Bee and Clara wrote a song that he sung, and in the early days Andy and the boys recorded a record of folk music. Sure was a lot of success for a sleepy little town. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 3 Jul 2001 22:11:41 -0400 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Happy Birthday Happy Birthday to all Americans from someone who began babysitting for neighbors at 10 years of age back when things weren't so scary!

They never had a winter uniform and a summer uniform like most Police Departments have.>>> My thoughts on this. Due to the filming during the fall/winter maybe it was colder in California and they did have lots of exterior shots. When I worked in Public Access cable tv I remember they always kept the studios ice cold too. Maybe I am nuts.

Happy Birthday Cal. (The bigger they are, the nicer they are.)

I remember Barney in his "street" >clothes and some of his shirts were short sleeved....but I can't recall >seeing Andy in short sleeves... The only two times I can remember Andy wearing short sleeves were in color episodes - one was when Aunt Bee bought Andy and Opie their matching 'oufits' for the Hollywood trip and the other was when they were bowling. AND Laura Lee - I know the mystery lady you are talking about. In the episode where the boys are selling (or trying to sell) the salve - after the boys leave Tom Jacobs' door she is walking up the sidewalk of the house next door and they chased her into her house. She and Tom also appear as a couple occasionally - maybe she was his real life wife!?! She also appeared in several of the color episodes - in one I believe she was a manicurist. (not THE manicurist, just a manicurist) - -Charlie (looking for the poultry shears) _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 4 Jul 2001 12:03:03 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Happy Fourth of July!!! Miss Poovey, Thank you for that most excellent Independence Day card! Thank you God, for the Constitution we have which grants us the freedom to pursue happiness. Our Thanks for those who fought and shed blood to gain those freedoms, and those who followed who maintain them. While we await Your Heaven, we can have a tiny piece of it here on Earth with our good friends and neighbors who display Godly virtue, hospitality, and "doing unto others" - which includes the good folks of our Mayberry community. Gonna go put on the John Phillip Souza tape and march the children around the house. The flag is up, the BBQ awaits, and life is good!

I hope y'all enjoy this digest and the friendships made from TAGS as much as Martha and I do. We have made some lifelong friends through TAGS that we value more than I can say. Y'all are a great bunch of folks, and we love you all.

I was struck by the info line on our diital cable last night when the episode about Opie torn between football and the piano. It said the coach who taught him and his playmates was played by -- Rockne Tarkington. What a name! For you non-FB fans, Knute Rockne was the legendary Notre Dame coach and Fran Tarkington was the Hall of Fame quarterback for the Vikings and the Giants. Was that really the actor's name, or was someone pulling my leg? Tom in Montana PS: There was a man named Fife He wasn't the sharpest knife But Mayberry needed him For women he respected a whim But he did cause some strife Legally, he was Andrew Decent through and through He was devoted to Mayberry Opie he loved very, very Our Andy! Just true blue I'm a Mayberry fan I love "Call the man!" It's blissful comedy Fills me with glee Gloom it will ban ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 5 Jul 2001 07:38:24 -0400 From: "Dan Goodwin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Alumni Sighting Sci-Fi ran a Twilight Zone marathon yesterday, so it was a good chance to pick up some alumni. I was particularly excited about spotting ol' Asa in an episode. dan ------------------------------ End of wbmutbb-digest V3 #187 ***************************** ************************************************** ~ 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.
