Boy my question about the Apricot Queen timing woke up the trained noticers. Thank you all very much. I guess I did forget that a date was mentioned (or wasn't paying attention as noted) but dates are thrown around so much, and not always consistent that I didn't really think about that.
I think what also threw me off is that Barney often told boyhood stories involving Andy, and he was comparing the situation to Trey and Opie--my first assumption was they were perhaps teens...but I think you guys cleared that up well. So what about Beaver Dam??? Is this the only time it is mentioned? Is it a natural wonder like the Robert E Lee bridge?? (actually built by beavers?) Or is it a man-made dam suitable for watching the water spray out, or skip rocks or fish??? Any why would it be a place to take visiting "fruit royalty"? (apricot queen) Do you think the Potato Queen (cannon episode) was jealous? And who eats all the apricots around here anyway? More thoughts to ponder The Untrained Voice I would probably buy a T-shirt, particularly if it had a picture of Mr. Schwamp on it and said something like. WBMUTBB Digest, 15-years of exploring the mysteries and fun of the Andy Griffith Show.
