I was fortunate to purchase Frances Bavier's leather needle case at a Mayberry event several years ago. It came with a financial document and I have both in a framed shadow box in my guest room, which is all Mayberry. But I would have to say that my most awesome Mayberry moment was when Don Knotts called my home. He was in Orlando to appear at MGM and some college function. I faxed a letter to his hotel, inviting him to our Opie meeting and offering my assistance in any capacity. That he took the time to actually phone to decline and thank me just bowled me over. When we went to MGM the next day I thanked him for the call and asked him to do a Nip-it for everyone. Another time when he was at MGM, two of our chapter members and myself got to have a private visit with him backstage and he autographed our books. He was a wonderful, kind and giving man, not at all like Barney - that's the actor of the man!!! Aunt Bee of Orlando
