I have heard that Aneta was so distraught with The Blob that she was
actually out of the country when it opened. Little did she know what the
future held - the movie would be a cult classic, her co-star would go one to
be one of the biggest ever and she would be forever a part of television
history.

Hello Everyone,
I am needing all you fellow Mayberrians to help!! As I've already told you,
our Pastor's "Evening in Mayberry" went fabulous. After the dinner we put on
a production of the Christmas episode. We had the courthouse reproduced
right down to the straw broom Andy was using!! Here is my problem. My
pastor was so excited that he has me already working on one for next year. I
am trying to write my own script for next year. I want it to have a
Christmas theme and include as many characters as possible. My initial
thoughts are to have John Masters putting on a Christmas play and having the
tryouts in the courthouse. If anyone has any ideas please email them to me.
I need all the help I can get because I am going to have to top this year's
production!!!

I am having trouble understanding your message Paul. What is Mrs. C's
Bakery Building?
I have the complete Hawthorne Mayberry Village along with all the accessory
pieces but never heard of that building. There wasn't such a building in
Mayberry or the Mayberry Village set, was there? Sometimes my thinking is a
little obtuse, so maybe you can clarify what you meant for me.
Thanks

I don't remember if it was on TAGS or Mayberry RFD, but the bakery that Millie
worked for was called "Boisinger's". I thought it a little odd that Aunt Bee,
being a wonderful baker, would send Opie there after a cake. Then I remembered
Andy saying that if a town has a dentist, folks were obliged to get a toothache
now and then. Aunt Bee was just fulfilling her Mayberry Bakery obligation.

Hey Dan I believe that Millie mentioned the name of the bakery she worked in as
"Boysinger's Bakery", but I don't consider myself a "trained noticer" so I
could be incorrect.
Dave I want you to know I really enjoyed your poem entitled "Christmas Mayberry
Style". I have had the blues lately missing my Mama, you see Christmas was her
favorite time of the year. Your poem really lifted my spirits (not "mulberry
squeezins spirits" like the Darling boys gave Barney), but the true "Mayberry
spirit, and it helped remind me to reach out to others. Thanks again for the
poem!

I don't know details but I heard about the same thing on tv. (I guess I
should know - I live in WV.) But I'll try to find out what I can, and maybe
someone else on the list knows more about it. I would like to go and check

A bit of confusion has arisen over some Hawthorne buildings which appeared
on eBay this week. I sent a polite message to the seller, who realized a
mistake made been made.
Let me clarify this: This seller, heriberto7, is selling five Hawthorne
buildings, one of which is Mayberry Post Office. It turns out the other
four buildings (Firehouse, Bakery, Chapel, and Kringle Bros. Emporium) look
very much like the Mayberry buildings, but they are actually from a
collection called "St. Nicholas Circle." I don't think the seller was
trying to deceive anyone.
There's no reason you couldn't display these pieces along with the Mayberry
Collection, as long as the scale is the same. They may not look exactly
like Mayberry buildings, but for that matter, some of the buildings in
Hawthorne's Mayberry set don't look much like the buildings on The Show
either.

I suddenly began wondering about something. Were Andy and Helen married on the
last TAGS show or the first Mayberry RFD? Was there any point where Helen was
referred to as Andy's fiance, or he was referred to as her fiance? I don't
believe they showed an episode where Andy proposed. I'd have liked to seen
that.

Subject: Candlestick phones and why they needed Sarah
To: [email protected]
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
My husband and I recently visited Mt. Airy, did all the usual things,
including posing at the desk in the "sheriff's office" at "Weaver's Department
Store." Well, just like we do in community theatre, the candlestick phone was
made out of dowels and things. I said to myself, "Self, reckon why they don't
have a real candlestick phone? You know the retired installers for the
telephone company have them stashed in their basements, garages, and sheds."
[I can think this because I worked for the telephone company that served Mt.
Airy for three years in the late '70s, early '80s. And I know of these things.
;-)] Then I realized that a real candlestick phone would be kinda valuable,
and I vowed to track one down. Which I did; it's on my first floor landing and
looks awfully cute. It is, however a dial phone--a ROTARY dial phone. (Since
Sarah doesn't work for the people I take from, it pretty much has to have a
dial if it is to work.) Oh, well, my landing ain't the sheriff's
office, anyhow.
The first week I arrived on the job at the telephone company (I did public
relations), the local Mt. Airy manager called me and asked me to get out a
press release. They were celebrating the 25th anniversary of the "cutover" to
dial. (With a potluck at the business office; I got it in the paper for them.)
So you see, dial telephones were rather new to Mt. Airy.

And what I didn't know, or never thought about anyway, is that the original
phone didn't have a ringer in it. In order for it to work properly there had to
be a box, that it connected to, that contained the ringer and a crank for you
to ring central with. If you notice the wall phone that is in Andy's kitchen
you see it has the crank and ringer built into the box. I can't ever remember
seeing a ringer box for the courthouse phone tho.
BTaylor adds: Mine doesn't ring, but I have phones ringing all over the house,
so I can just pick it up when the other phones ring. It is black, of course.
In the Old Days, you rented the phone from the company, so, if it was still
working, there was no getting a newer style. That would explain why the phone
in Andy livingroom is a 60s model like I had in the house where I grew
up--except there is no dial. They must have added an extension in the
livingroom and gotten the newer model.
As I said when I picked up the "fake" candlestick phone in the sheriff's office
"set" in Weavers,
"Sheriff's Office. The sheriff is eating his lunch. This is B. Taylor. May I
take a message."
Good research Dan.

Well I continue to read reports of the wonderful DVD's which came out in
mid-November. Mine came from Weaver's around the 18th of November, but I can't
watch them until Christmas. It's been a long time since this 58-year old man
just couldn't wait til Christmas. I may just stay up all night Christmas eve so
I can finally watch our Andy and other characters in an after midnight
marathon.
I've been a Mayberry fan a long time. On October 12, 1965 when our first-born
came along, we named him Andy. He is now 39 years old. We just couldn't
continue the process in '68 when our second was born. Barney had long ago left
the show, and Howard just didn't fit, so we named him Erick. Had Barney still
been in place who knows, we might have a Barney today.
Enough ramblin' , Merry Christmas

I had the pleasure of joining good friends to watch David's performance last
year and it was just outstanding. Most of us have seen David as the "Mayberry
Deputy" but his talent goes WAY beyond that. If you want to see a special
holiday event, I would recommend an evening in Oakboro. Jeff Branch hosts a
nice buffet dinner and its a fun evening all around!
