LEONARD BLUSH? Actually that's a good choice. I, myself, would like to see (and hear Barney's story finally) Myra Koontz from the "lann-jerr-ee" shop and also that fine fellow graduate of Ange and Barn - Miss Pearlie Mae Dubois. I've got a pretty good idea of what Sarah and Juanita look like - wouldn't want a bonus episode to show them and spoil all of that work I've done constructing them out of thin air.

If anyone out there wants to be on my update list, just send me an e-mail at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and your name will be added to the list. I will keep everyone informed of the status of the project. We've got some great ideas like a Barney "We Defy the Mafia" cover issue, Ernest T. specials, the Darlins in Mayberry and on and on. Each issue will have the essence of that particular episode, as we will stay honest to ol' Ange and Barn. Looking forward to hearing from everyone. And let me know which you prefer - black and white episodes, color episodes, or a large or small mixture.

Hal Smith (Otis) was in several episodes of the Flintstones, as was Ernest T, and our own lovable Floyd. Just the other night there was an episode on where Barney decides to find Andy a girl and he tells all of these women Thelma Lou invited them to Andy's. I can't for the life of me remember the name of the episode, but when I heard the first girl named Amanda come in I knew I had heard that voice before....That's when it hit me!! She's the voice of Judy Jetson! Amazing where those Mayberry folk show up!!

I would also like to see Thelma Lou's and Otis' worksites.

Ain't it cool? My sweet Gomer finally getting promoted! I am so proud, proud, proud!!! Do you suppose he went out and bought a new tie with acorns on it for the ceremony? It would be just like Gomer to show up at his ceremony out of uniform...bless his heart! Now about that quote from the Marine Corps... >"even though Gomer wasn't the sharpest knife >in the drawer, he maintained all the attributes >that a Marine is supposed to have. He was >honest, trustworthy and always gave 100 >percent." Okay, let's look at this...yes, no one could be more honest than Gomer. And trustworthy? Yes, lawdy! Wally was all the time leaving Gomer alone at the filling station. And ofcourse he always gave 100% ...look at the way he went all out for his date with Mary Grace; he even went to a few differrent stores to find a corsage that matched her dress and eyes. Now, I kinda riled a bit at at the comment that Gomer wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer. Then I thought about it from a chef's point of view. My favorite knife in my drawer isn't the sharpest. It's the one I think as my favorite. It's the first one I reach for, the old reliable. There may be some sharper but I feel comfortable with this one. And that sort of sums up Gomer, now don't it? ~the groovy (and proud) misspoovey~ ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 14 Aug 2001 22:43:16 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Sarah the operator I think it's interesting that so many people want to finally meet Sarah the telephone operator (regarding tha question about that fantasry "lost" episode we wish had been made). The phone operator on "Petticoat Junction" and "Green Acres" was also named Sarah, and we *did* see *her* on a couple of rare occasions. I forget the actress' name but she was an older lady and she did appear on TAGS at least once in another role...

Who did the whistling for the beginning and ending of the shows ? Would like to know some background on whoever it was and what ever happened to them. Boy, talk about being forgotten in life and not getting recognition, I feel sorry for them. Thanks for any help. Frank C. Fendt Chameleon and a Clown Magically yours. (***NOTE FROM ALLAN: The following information is in the "Mayberry FAQ" found on the TAGSRWC web site.) Q. I heard that Fred Lowery whistled the theme to TAGS. Is that true. A. From TAGSRWC founder, Jim Clark: You can nip this rumor in the bud! Fred Lowery was a renowned whistler (perhaps the finest ever), but he may have stretched the truth a little for the sake of a good story. He often whistled the TAGS theme when he performed, but he did not whistle the version that we hear on TAGS itself. That was indeed Earle Hagen. (I asked Earle about the Fred Lowery rumors myself a few year's back, and he set the record straight.) By the way, Fred Lowery wrote a very interesting autobiography called "Whistling in the Dark" (so named because he was blind). --JC >From Paul Mulik: No, composer Earle Hagen whistled it. It was the only thing he ever whistled professionally, except for "Return to Mayberry," when he reprised his earlier performance. People are always telling me that that they remember when "the guy who whistled the Andy Griffith theme song" came and performed at their school in the early 1970s. Whoever those folks saw, I doubt if it was Earle Hagen --probably just some whistler who included the TAGS theme in his own repertoire ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 Aug 2001 09:42:48 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V3 #240 Re: Trivia Question I think that would be Gomer.

The movie was made around 1986. I don't know how long a person has to be in the Marine Reserves, after they leave the Marines. We need to find a former Marine an ask them that question. How long was "Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C" on T.V.? My favorite character on that was Sgt. Vince Carter played by Frank Sutton. Margaret Gomer says Hey!!! Sgt. Carter: "PYLE" (screaming and turning red in the face) ______________________________________________________________________ The information in this email and in any attachments is confidential and may be privileged.

Of course, the show was great anyhow. Opie is being bullied on the way to school and is getting extra nickels to "pay the bully off". When Aunt Bee is making Opie's lunch and going on and on about apple pie, she tells Opie to be sure and use the nickle for milk and not another piece of apple pie. Does that mean the lunch room sold slices of apple pie on a daily basis or maybe he was gonna buy some from a friend who brought apple pie also? This is one of those trival trivialites but just thought I would run it by you.

The following new guests have been confirmed for Mayberry Days, September 27-29: Betty Lynn - Thelma Lou Howard Morris - Ernest T. Bass Leroy Mack McNees - The Country Boys Our old friends Maggie Peterson-Mancuso, Doug Dillard, and George Spence (Frank, "Cousin" Gloria's fiance) will also be back. Other guest stars may be able to attend as well, so stay tuned! The TAGS stars will be at many different events throughout the weekend and all of them will be at the autograph session at the Andy Griffith Playhouse right after the parade on Saturday. Howard Morris will be charging a nominal fee for his signature, but historically, no one else does. I will be updating the SAC website tonight, but I wanted to let WBMUTBB know the big news. You can get more details about Mayberry Days online at www.surryarts.org. The Doug Dillard 7pm concert and Colonel Tim's Talent Time are both sold out, but there are other good events going on at those same times in the Downtown Cinema Theatre and tickets are still available. The annual WBMUTBB service project - Mayberry Days Silent Auction - is Saturday morning. Some outstanding Mayberry items are starting to roll in and I'll have an update in a few weeks. Thank you to everyone who has contributed so far. Anyone else who is interested in helping out is welcome to join in the fun! It's BIG!

You'll want to check out the URL that he provided for some great photos of Jim Nabors getting his promotion. - -- Allan Subj: MORE ON LANCE CORPORAL PYLE From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Pinder LtCol Robert E) Friday night, I saw Jim Nabors again, this time at the change of command ceremony (we had a new lieutenant general assuming command). Mr. Nabors again graciously posed with Marines and family and signed autographs (I got him to sign again for me; he wrote GOLLEEE!!!). I told him I was a lawyer and he should sue for back pay. He drove away in a SUV with license "JN1." What a gentleman. Anyway, see http://www.mfp.usmc.mil/gomer/gomerphotos.html Semper Fi, Charles A.
