>>>Clara Bertha Johnson was saddled at a birth with a name she didn't enjoy...She successfully made the transition when she married Harold Edwards (you remember their son Gene) and officially changed her name to Clara Johnson Edwards.
Close, but no cigar (unless it was specially made by the little man in Tampa). Johnson was her married name. We know this from "The Pickle Story," from her remark "...when Mr. Johnson was alive, he used to say, 'when my time comes and I go to heaven, I'll just bet they don't put down a pickle that can compare with yours,' that's what he always said, rest his soul." She obviously reverted to her maiden name of Edwards some time after his death. We're never told Mr. Johnson's first name, and her son's name is Gale, not Gene. We learn this is "Aunt Bee's Invisible Beau," which BTW is the only episode to mention my favorite game, Scrabble. --Paul _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list [email protected] http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
