According to an article that was in the Winston-Salem Journal over the weekend,
CBS, the Knotts' Estate, and business associates of Andy Griffith were all
opposed to it. I just don't understand. If it was going to be tastefully
done, put on public display, and no one was going to make a profit on it, then
why would anyone have a problem with it?
As for the folks who tried so hard to make it happen, I imagine they've got to
be thinking..."You try to do something nice and what do you get?
HEARTACHES!...NOTHING BUT HEARTACHES!!!"
