In last nights episode, did everyone enjoy that scene with gossip Barney and Andy sitting in the squad car talking about everyone in town. I love that scene, and also when Asa said, "See Ben it is not happening while I am here, it's happening in the day time when you are here!" Just wonderful lines. I would appreciate it if someone would email me Barney's lines when he told Andy about the girl who was still pitting prunes. I really enjoy that scene in TAGS, but I have forgotten the episode title. Thanks, Jim ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 9 Oct 2001 08:44:47 -0400 From: "Dan Goodwin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Something Paul Doesn't Know For years I've tried to find out something that Paul doesn't know, well, I found one. Paul doesn't know the story about Myra Koontz! dan ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 9 Oct 2001 09:48:24 -0500 From: "The Hendersons" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Romeena or Ramona Ref: the Ernest T. Bass story "how do you do, Mrs. Wiley": Were my ears playin' tricks, or didn't every one "introduce" Ernest's Romeena as Ramona? (I always called her Romeena, becaus Ernest T. did; but when she was introduced at that party/dance she seemed to be introduced as Ramona). Help me out, somebody. Thanks ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 9 Oct 2001 09:56:21 -0500 From: Dawn Biegelsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: pumpkin patterns I think an Opie pattern would be a natural, working in the orange of the pumpkin with Opie's hair! Plus, it would be cute to have a friendly kid's face on a pumpkin. Thanks, Paul!

He wants his entry to be a replica of a Mayberry squad car. I was wondering if anyone in the digest had done this before and if they might have any patterns that they would be willing to share? - - Checkpoint Chickee _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 09 Oct 2001 19:32:06 -0400 From: "April Starnes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Mayberry Days 2001 Hey to all! I finally got to visit the Mayberry Days this year. I only live a couple of hours away so we just went down on Saturday. I wasn't fortunate to see any "real" cast members but did get to have my picture made with Phil Fox, the Ernest T. impersonator and the "Opie" boy was really cute. I was disappointed, however, because I had printed out a schedule off TAGSRWC that had times , dates etc. for all events and it said on Saturday, they were having walking tours and also open house at Andy's house and to originate at The Andy Griffith Playhouse. The only (LONG) line there was for autographs and we asked several people and they said they knew nothing about it. Then in "The Mayberry Confidential" that we picked up there, it had different listings and IT said those events were done on Friday. We did go on our "own" tours and found everything. It was neat to walk in Andy's yard and see Wally's. We waited in line at The Snappy Lunch (for a pork chop sandwich) and someone said there was an hour and a half wait so we got in line at the diner but it was over an hour wait. We finally went across the street to another little restaraunt that wasn't on the show but the wait was only 10 min and the food was good! We're planning on a trip back soon so we can eat a p.c. sandwich and then we'll "have" to go to the diner for some pie! It was fun, though. Next time, I would like to go to the dinner to meet the cast members. Everyone was talking about what a sweet person "Charlene" is and how "true" to character she is. I took lots of great pictures,too. Bye, for now!

Barbara Perry (Floss in the second class reunion episode, Lavinia in "A Wife for Andy") played Buddy's wife Pickles, Howard Morris played a German art critic, Jamie Farr (one of the gypsies) played the lunch delivery boy, Arthur Batanides (convict Ralph Neal in the episode "Barney's Bloodhound") played a mobster. I also noticed some familiar names in the credits-- executive producer Sheldon Leonard, director of some episodes Howard Morris, music by Earle Hagen. I'm sure these are not the only ones, but they are the ones that came to mind at the moment. No wonder "The Dick van Dyke Show" is my second favorite sitcom ever, right after TAGS, of course.

Wanted to write a note to let all of you know how much I, my staff, and Emmett Forrest enjoyed rolling out the red "Mayberry" carpet at the Visitors Center (home of the Andy Griffith Museum) for Mayberry Days 2001! It was truly a pleasure to recognize the impact that Andy and the And Griffith Show has had on so many all across the state, country, and out of the country!! Our repeat visitors show us that we must be doing something right. I also wanted to let you guys in on some statistics just hot off my calculator and computer, and believe me, these are some sizzling stats! Mind you, these are just the numbers documented by our registers. We know that many more did not sign or did not get by the Andy Griffith Museum to register. Thursday: 765 Friday: 1,640 Saturday 4,061 Sunday: 225 Grand Total: 6, 691 This represents a + 31 % increase or change over MD 2000. This year we were represented by 31 states and 3 foreign countries. In addition, Emmett Forrest and I would like to extend our appreciation and thanks to the following individuals who either gave of their time or gave "treasures" to Emmett to add to his extensive collection of Andy Griffith memorabilia. Do stop back by in the near future to see the additions. Here goes the list...Thank you to Bart Boatwright, Phil Bowling, Jason Gilmore, Nancy Thornton, Steve & Teresa Barfield, Tom Thomas, Jewel Kutzer, and Jeff Koontz. Heartfelt thanks also to Allen "Floyd" Newsome who accepted the pansy award with such flourish at the Mayberry Garden Club Flower Show on Friday. Thanks and a huge hug to Maggie Peterson for her stop by the Center on Sunday before flying out! She is a gem. A big hug also to Ms. Betty Lynn who still tugs at everyone's heartstrings. She stopped by with Steve and Teresa Barfield on Wednesday before all the festivities began. Thank you celebrities and fans alike for choosing to spend Mayberry Days 2001 with us in Mount Airy. Don't wait until Mayberry Days 2002 to visit us again! Hurry on back and make it "snappy", why don't you? Ann L.
