>>>However my question is this: Why did she virtually disappear? Howard went off to the Caribbean w/nary a mention of Mrs. Sprague. Surely, she would have been there to see him off.<<<
I remember reading somewhere that Jack Dotson, or the producers, thought she was confining his character too much. ---------------- >>>I was over at the Dime Store buying some buttons and bows for my Easter dress when the Digest came in and I read where I was accused of cheating on Goober. Oh, to be falsely accused of immorality! The pain of it all! The suffering. And I who has suffered so much already! Why me, Lord, why, why, why?<<< Well dear Lydia would you care to explain what the butcher boy was doing at your house for 3-4 hours?? ---------------- I think there were other references to the Mayberry Library. Barney went over there once to get a book on Mountain folklore, to come up with a plan to get Andy out of marrying Charlene due to the Divorce proceedings. Perhaps Opie just went to the Mt. Pilot Library because they had more historical reference material. --------------- I was gone for a couple weeks, so I'm just catchin up. Got many giggles out of two weeks of Digest material. I look forward to checking out that Gossip website. I enjoyed the discussion of what Mayberry would be like today. Surprised no one mentioned (but I could have missed) that Sarah would not be needed. Perhaps she'd have a local office for the phone company and sign folks up for DSL and Cell Phones??? If they had Cell Phones Andy would have never missed Peggy, Barney and Floyd would never went to O"Malley's place looking for gas...and like someone said Mr. Tucker would never have experienced Mayberry. I'm glad the technology did not exist then. _________________ I got to experience a Howard Sprague like Fantasy trip. My wife and I went to Hawaii for our 25th. I thought of Howard and his temporary paradise when we were at some secluded beautiful spots (different ocean though--not Atlan)..but I didn't see any ships in a bottle. I think we got really close to Jim Nabors house, but the tour guide didn't point it out specifically. Of course I would have hopped out and had my picture taken with his newspaper until the maid shewed me off. The price of land there is unbelievable. I think Barney should have combined his Real Estate and Investment skills and bought land there 40 years ago. I missed you guys I still miss ole Bighead in Deetroit The Untrained Voice rehabilitating with my Mr. Potato Head Set _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list [email protected] http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
