Congratulations to Neil Bentley. He guessed both of the Mayberry characters I was thinking of with academic doctorates. They were Rev. Dr. Hobart M. Tucker (D.D.) and Dr. Frank Smith (Ph.D.). Frank Smith is the only one I know that is 100% certain to have the PhD since Helen said it. Dr. Merle Osmond was a PPD according to Barney, but we can only guess this was likely a "Barneyism" for PhD.
Speaking of Helen, does anyone know what specific degree Helen has? This may be an easy one for trained noticers. It might surprise you. Dr. Schwump _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list [email protected] http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
