And another 200th to Wbmutbb.I couldn't observe such an event without congradulations Allen. And thank you Ken Anderson on updates about poor Ferdie having passed on.He was memorable carrying along that acordian and followng his Aunt Clara wherever she went.Like Col Tim and others who were a part of the Mayberry community he and Uncle Ollie and Aunt Nora left their mark and what treasured memories. One more memorable character was. Ruth McDevitt formerly of Mr Peepers fame in her role as Edith. Pendleton. In several later shows Helens Past and espesiallyEmmetts Anniversary.Was she funny as a fuddy duddy old snoop and in Emmetts Anniversary. Look at her facial expressions trying to convince Martha to open up the present or trying to comfort a tearful Martha from accepting the possibility our beloved Emmett might be having a fling with Flora. -I love the classic lines this gifted character actress was given such as Yes I see what you mean one last GASP or just her sympathetic blurting out the name Martha to the tearful Martha back at the Taylor home.The writers from TAGS were wise to utilize the talents of such performers by giving them a simple line then allow like in Ruths case a chance to embellis it and run away with it.You certainly don't know how to keep a secret.is another prime example.itd a shame we didn't see more of this gifted character actress Like she once said to Andy Set up the card table for dominos.More recollections of memorable rarely discussed denizens of Mayberry passing thru next time.Ken Anderson if you know what became of Ferdie maybe you know what became of Dick Haymes as Col Tim?if so tell us.I don't think Ed Sullivan has anything to worry about.Again Alllen Happy 200th.Bless you all.Tom Kessel [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list [email protected] http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
