If you are like me, you might think that when Helen wrote a book and became
famous on TAGS, that was a big event. You might think that when Opie dreamed
about winning all of the medals in the track and field events, that THAT was a
big event. You might think that when Otis won the plaque for being the
descendant of Mayberry's Revolutionary War hero Nathan Tibbs that THAT was a
big event. Then of course there is the time that the Gold Truck came through
Mayberry and our dear Barney thought that, that was a big event. But folks let
me tell you about a TAGS event that in my opinion was BIGGER than all of these
events, and all the others on TAGS put together.
I received an email from my dear friend, Ann Newsome who is our Allan's Mama,
telling me about a SUPREME HONOR that was bestowed upon Allan. A couple of
weeks ago Allan and his darlin' person Jan were sitting at home when the phone
rang. They looked at the caller ID and it said DON KNOTTS!!! I can only
imagine the astonished looks on their faces as they answered that call.
Apparently our Allan had been mailed an invitation to the memorial service for
Mr. Knotts, and had not responded so Mr. Knotts's personal secretary was
calling to check on this. Apparently the invitation was lost in the mail, so
Allan was unaware of the fact that he had been invited to be in California for
the event. Needless to say some very hurried plane reservations were made and
Allan went to California for the memorial service. I am pretty sure that all
of the details of Allan's trip will be in the next ebullet, so I will let him
share those with you.
I told you it was BIG!!! (GRIN)
