I paid for it in return mail, and still haven't received another one. I e-mailed customer service at Columbia House and they said they were automatically mailed out every four weeks. Well, it's been way past four weeks and I haven't seen hide nor hair of another tape. Anyone else have this problem?

Would be nice if those items cost that today. Especially gasoline! Everybody have a safe and happy Labor Day weekend.

(AIT)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Pickups and Splashes from Floor and Pool >>>To:Gritton Joe I'm sorry to inform you, but, Opie and Aunt Bee were in the episode" Andy & Barney in the Big City". You know, Nobody takes a trip, without a paper sack, full of sandwiches!!!!>>>> I think I've heard just about enough about that tomato! ha ha. Actually Terry Lee, I did publish a correction shortly after that appeared, but it appears not everyone saw it. This wasn't the first correction. I looked at the chart wrong, and you are correct. That episode had more that 2 main characters. The one I should have said was "The County Nurse #56", just one above. It just had Andy and Barney (not counting Nurse Mary and Rafe of course). Now if the chart is wrong on that, Well I'm just all wet, and I'll run up an alley and holler fish. I've enjoyed discussing some of the multi-appearance extra's and I'd like to mention another familiar face. Roy Engel. Roy, I believe, is kind-of a square faced everyman type guy. No white hat like Joe Hamilton and Johny (T Jacobs) Coons. No Schwamp hair piece. The one common thing you see in some of his appearances though is he likes to laugh at Barney. He is in the crowd of "Citizen's Arrest" and he is Judd, one of those laughing at Barney when he arrests Mr. Meldrim trying to break into his own Bank in "Barney in the Cave Rescue" (he is also at the cave). He is the trumpeter in Sermon for Today, is in the Gold Truck Episode...as well as Gomer the House Guest, Andy and the New Mayor (Jess Morgan) Sam for Town Council and Howard and Millie.(conductor) I could be wrong on some of these facts (it wouldn't be the first time)...but see if you can spot Roy...

(AIT)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Oops...one more splash A few days ago, someone asked how Andy hurt his hand when he had a cast on it. I am currently reading his biography. In it, he comments "It had nothing to do with my professional life". The writer had given implications earlier that the stress of the demands of Andy's success after he and first wife Barbara had been a entertainment team was beginning to wear on their marriage. He notes later that one difference between Andy Taylor and Andy Griffith was that he had a short temper. So the fist into the door incident apparently happened in his home, during some domestic argument. tUV ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 01 Sep 2001 09:37:56 -0500 From: Paul Mulik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Andy's parents >>> [ In "Opie and Mike" Aunt Bee] mentioned the fact that there was some furniture in the attic that belonged to Andy's mother and father. Does anyone else remember them being mentioned previously? We never learn their names of Andy's parents, but Andy does mention his father in a couple of episodes: In "Keeper of the Flame," he tells Opie about the time his father spanked him after playing with matches and candles In "The Bank Job" when Barney comments about Asa's antiquated "Teddy Roosevelt horse pistol," Andy relates a story from his childhood, when his daddy convinced Asa to let the young Andy handle the pistol (could this event have ignited the spark that later inspired Andy to become a lawman? Very possibly!) Apparently Andy's mother died when he was very young, because in the first episode he tells Opie that Aunt Bee raised him from the age when he was "no bigger than you" (about six years old). - --Paul ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 1 Sep 2001 13:36:18 -0400 From: Jewell Kutzer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: wbmutbb-digest V3 #258 Relative to the prices on the grocery store window. They were not prices in use in the '50s & '60s when "The Andy Griffith Show" was set, but rather those in use in the '30s and '40s when Andy was growing up in his hometown, Mount Airy, North Carolina. Virtually all of the prices reflect an earlier era, as do many other things on the show. Both Andy and the producers of the show have said that they were going for the "feel" of earlier times. It is one of the things I give attention in my new book. It will be available at "Weavers" in a few weeks! In the Mayberry Spirit!

I know for years I thought the owner of the Chicago White Socks was Bill Beck instead of Veck, because that's what it sounded like to me when I heard his name on T.V. Just a thought. Barb Actually, to make sound and spelling matters even more convoluted, the owner of the White Sox was Bill Veeck. I went to school with his son, an incredibly intelligent man who is a professor and anthropologist now!

I have created a print commemorating Mayberry Days, 2001 featuring the stars that will be in attendance this year. Betty Lynn, Maggie Peterson, Doug Dillard, Howard Morris, LeRoy McNees and George Spence are all depicted on this 12" x 24" full color laminated (front and back) print. It is ideal for autographs. As a matter of fact, I created it with that in mind. It is a limited edition of 100. No more will be printed. The cost of the print is $25. Also, $5 from each print sold will be donated to the Surry Arts Council to assist them in bringing Mayberry Days to us each year. They do a great job, as all who have attended in the past know. Those of you who are thinking about going, do yourself a favor and make the trip. You will have a weekend of good, clean, family fun, which is unfortunately a rarity these days. To get a glimpse of this print, go to: http://members.aol.com/gwedo186/mdays.jpg Prints are available immediately on a first come, first serve basis. If you would like to purchase a print or have any questions, you can email me directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please do not reply to the digest. We don't want to tie things up with trivial trivialities. I will give you further instructions on where to send payment, etc. I will accept orders until Monday Sept. 17. That way you will be sure to have your print with you when you get to Mt. Airy.
