I am married with two children. I am the director of Industrial Engineering at TPI corporation. I have always loved the Andy Griffith Show. My wife thinks I am crazy because I can watch the re-runs over and over and still laugh at the same things over and over. I am in the process of introducing my two girls to the enjoyment of watching the show. They love Earnest T. Bass "Mountain Wedding" and "The Pickle Story". I try to pick out obscure things in each show I watch as points of trivia questions to my friends and family. My family will see a show and ask me a question about that show to see if they can stump me. I am usually able to answer with the correct name or fact. +=======================================================+ My name is Christine Leatherberry and I am from Lorain, OH My Email address is: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Leatherberry, Christine - [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Lorain, OH COMMENTS: I have always enjoyed watching AGS. I'm a wife, mother of two, and grandmother of three! +=======================================================+ My name is Chris Leatherberry and I am from Lorain, OH My Email address is: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Leatherberry, Chris - [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Lorain, OH COMMENTS: Married 28 years. Have two children and three grandchildren, one of which knows who Andy Griffith is very well! Also am reading the devotional on the show! +=======================================================+ My name is James Dobson and I am from Johnson city, TN My Email address is: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dobson, James - [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Johnson city, TN COMMENTS: First of all, my middle name is Greg and that is what I perfer to be called. I am 23 years old and have been a fan of the show ever since I started watching television. I feel that my knowledge of trivia about the show is as good as anybodies. I have quite a few of the shows on tape, but I would eventually like to have them all. I have never been to Mayberry Days at Mt. Airy, but I am considering going this year. I just recently learned about this club while reading an article about Mt. Airy and Mayberry in the current issue of Blue Ridge magazine. I had no idea that there are as many fans like myself as there are. +=======================================================+ My name is Maria Miller and I am from Omaha, NE My Email address is: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Miller, Maria - [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Omaha, NE COMMENTS: I've been an Andy Griffith fan about as long as I can remember. While growing up, I knew there just had to be better place to live. I was left home alone and Andy, Opie, Bee, Barney and the other became my family. I now am all grown up and have my own live family, but try to not miss watching my other famiy. +=======================================================+ My name is Toni Coombs and I am from Herndon, KY My Email address is: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Coombs, Toni - [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Herndon, KY COMMENTS: I am a 27 year old female living in a very small farming community in Ky - about 20 miles to the nearest town. I have been a TAGS fan since I was born. I love the simple things in life. I am an only child and live on the same family farm as my parents. I love the message of strong family values that the show sends out. In this day, I haven't found a lot of people who stand up for their morals and do the right thing, and I wish there were more folks who were humble and honest, like the characters on TAGS. +==================== End Bios =============+ ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Sep 2001 18:19:40 -0400 From: "Maureen Kowalski" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Barney Fife EMT Hellooo Dolll, This weekend I attended a class to become a CPR instructor. The instructor was a real drag, so I made up for it by imagining what if Barney Fife were an EMT instead of the deputy. I could just see him teaching class, being as precise in giving directions as ever in his overstated ways, and then when the real thing came along, like a broken leg or unexpected birth, getting real nervous and shaky as he does, but in the end coming out a real hero and life saver. I am not putting down Barney, or discounting emergency medical personnel in any way shape or form, as I have an EMT license myself, but I was entertaining myself during a badly run class. Anyhow, I was wondering if anybody else has ever thought of the characters in different occupations other than what they hold in Mayberry. Another example is Howard Sprague. I could easily see him as being a high school History,English, or Science teacher.

Even worse than the pictures in The Police Gazette ( "And Barney - he's never been married") Seriously, it is disgusting (pronounced DIS - gusting) - far worse than the Mayberry Band. I can't think of episodes where they actually showed the rain in Mayberry - except, of course, for the show about the gypsys. I do think that after Andy delivered Sam's baby, he and Barn were on the porch talking about how good the air smells after a rain. Glad to be back and have the time to read WBMUTBB again. It's great!! "I stay in the house too much!"

I paid $25 each for them - a lot I know but I wanted them because I thought they were neat and they ARE really nice I think. Anyway, it was fully explained that they were empty and that there never was a kit to be had - they were always just boxes. I bought them knowing all the details and don't regret it. They are real cute and make a nice addition to my collection.

We looked at their merchandise and found nothing we could not get at Weaver's. The prices at Weaver's are somewhat less. P.S. The Pancake House is one block north of Ripley's. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Sep 2001 23:31:35 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Declaration of Independence Dear all: Just had to share this with all of you. I am a 41 year old college kid right now and one of the courses I'm taking is American Government. Today our teacher showed us a video as an intro to the Preamble of the Declaration of Independence. What should come on but Andy and Barney! The show where Barney claims to remember the beginning of The Declaration of Independence. Andy has to feed him every word, the class was just rolling. I of course was in heaven, what a nice way to start the class! Hope everyone's day started as nice as mine!

Let us not forget, "Dogs, Dogs, Dogs" and the storm. Remember the little trembler? "...dogs are short and they take care of their own. Giraffes don't. No, giraffes don't at all. Boy, giraffes are selfish, just run around looking out for number one, getting hit by lightning..." My best to you and yours!

How do you guys >feel? Would you all like to see Aunt Bee lose her cool? Just sit me in front of one of those horrendously crude and explicit commercials, and let me roar! I have noticed an escalation of "those kinds" of commercials on family programming in the last 4-6 months. Maybe it is acceptable family conversation starters in some homes, but there are just some subjects I do not care to explain about, or elaborate on to my four children, especially the little guys! When TAGS was the noon to 1:00 pm fare on the local FOX affiliate, the commercials showed some crude previews of other programs. Several of us wrote and asked that they save those for another time slot, or better yet, not show them! We were told that we are in the VAST minority and that they could not change their commercial programming for a few religious people who couldn't "handle it". I doubt that a letter-writing campaign would be effectual unless we ALL wrote. I would think that 1740+ letters on the same subject would maybe draw some attention. What do you think, folks? I'll see what I can do to get address info if you all will e-mail me and let me know you want the info, that way we don't clutter up the Digest with the sharing of this kind of information. My best to you and yours! Aunt Bee from Modesto, CA (who can be an activist when she gets riled!)

And did it ever snow? The three rains I remember are the Gypsies, the night Sam Becker's wife had a baby, and the dogs out in that field. I tried but that was all I coud think of. ------------------------------ End of wbmutbb-digest V3 #268 ***************************** ************************************************** ~ 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.
