*** NEWS FROM TAGSRWC HQ: Statement about Aaron from Andy ***
We'll be having a lot more (in words and pictures) about Aaron Ruben in the next few days, both on Mayberry.com (http://mayberry.com) and TAGSRWC's Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/tagsrwc), as well as in upcoming TAGSRWC newsletters. But here are fond words by Andy Griffith that we think capture so perfectly the feelings of the moment throughout Mayberry, and beyond:
"I said to Aaron's beautiful wife on Saturday, 'No one knows how sad I am.' Then, my wife and I sobbed for hours. While Cindi and I knew this was coming (Aaron would be 96 on March 1), while he was still on earth, we could still talk. We spoke every year on Christmas Day. When we were working together or not, we were always friends. We spoke this last Christmas and laughed together.
"Aaron did many things in the show business we both loved. Most importantly, Aaron would want to be known for his work with CASA, and other charities he and Maureen worked with.
"Aaron, Maureen, Don, Francey [Knotts], Cindi and I were and will remain best friends. We will see one another again one day."
