I few months back I contacted a relative of one of TAGS regular guests, Bob McQuain. As it turns out she is a cousin to Bob. I thought you all may like to see what she wrote back to me.
"Hi Ray, Yes, I am related to Bob McQuain. He was my second cousin. (My father and him were first cousins.) Bob was very nice and a great person to talk with - he could expound on a variety of subjects. His death several years ago came out of the blue. I too love the Andy Griffith show. I remember watching it when I was very young. I have always watched the credits of TV shows and films. (I'm the last person sitting there in the theatre, remembering things from the credits like Mo Henry, the editor on this film, also edited such and such...) I got very excited one day when I saw the last name McQuain in the AGS credits. Our last name is not very common and I went running to my parents after the credits finished rolling so I could tell them about my discovery. They were unfazed, and much to my amazement, they then told me I was related to this "Bob McQuain" whos name I had just seen. I was over the moon. (I had not met Bob yet at that time.) Needless to say, I watched the show credits religiously from then on. Come to think of it, that may be the whole reason I watch credits to this day! FYI: Don Knotts is also from my home state, West Virginia. Don grew up in Morgantown. They have a boulevard named after him up there. Nice talking with you. Kind regards. -B.
