I run the "I Got A Hobby...Drinkin'" chapter in Normal, IL, and we're
gearing up to do some TAGS viewing in celebration of the 50th
anniversary. I just started listening to the podcast and heard about
your chapter, so I thought I'd join. TAGS is my most favorite show
ever, and I would consider myself honored to become a member.

Good Afternoon!
I am Christy, mom of 5, and TAGS fan since I was a small child. My
grandma and I used to watch TAGS often when I was on school break.
Those are fond memories! My husband and I are raising our children with
many values that have a common theme with those of TAGS (which sadly we
get critcized for as being too old fashioned and trying to live in the
past). My all time favorite episode is the pickle episode. I have yet to
can my own pickles because my kind husband would tell me he likes them
no matter what! Anyhow, nice to meet you all and looking forward to some
fellowship.

then and they did until their deaths and now I do. Toni Burdette

I am a critical care nurse at Marion General Hospital. I'm married to a
great guy named Paul. I have a daughter and a step-daughter and
step-son. I have fond memories of watching the Andy Griffith Show as I
was growing up and continued to watch it after I was on my own. My
daughter and I would watch the reruns as she was growing up. She still
likes to watch the show, and in fact we have the complete set. There's
just something about watching The Andy Griffith show that is so
comforting and relaxing. A simpler time and the family feel of it, not
the rushed hectic world that we have today. I just love to excape to
Mayberry!

I've been watching TAGS since the getgo and all of my descendants are
avid fans also. It's therapedic. I've been to Mayberry Days 4 times
and to several other cast reunions. I'm a middle class white Southern
Baptist woman from Texas and proud of it. How I vote, however, is my
business.
I've been married 47 years to the same good old boy and dye my roots
(brunette from a bottle). I've shot skeet and varmints and played
bluegrass music. I fish and camp. The Dillards picked music in my
home in 1969.
I've kissed Denver Pyle on the cheek when he was grand marshal of the
Founders Day parade in Waxahachie Texas a number of years back. He
enjoyed it and his lovely wife Tippy didn't seem to mind.

I was raised in Tennessee almost 50 years ago where the Andy Griffith
show was watched and adored. Mayberry, the people and the everyday life
was very close to what our life was like at home. I watch the show
today because Andy reminds me so much of my father who has now passed
away. It's a great way to way to escape the insanity of the world we
live in today. I left home,joined the AF and now live in Wyoming. I am
unable to "go home" as I would like to but all I have to do is put in
the Andy Griffith Show and I am there.....Thanks for all you do to keep
the love of the show available for everyone to see and to make the
actors/actresses know how much they mean to us all.

I remember only one year of the Andy Giffith show in black and white
since I was only 2 when it debuted but I did watch it even through the
days of Mayberry RFD. I have also watched the reruns all these years,
Andy always reminded me of my father. My father and Andy even wore their
hair the same way, I speak in the past only because my father is gone
now. Watching the show brings back fond memories of when my father and I
would watch the show together. Good times :)

I have been an avid TAGS fan since I was six years old, the the show
began (I have now given away my age!) I am an elementary music teacher
here in Defiance, have two wonderful children and two grandchildren. I
watch Andy on TV Land, Hallmark and a local Christian station, and I
also own the first three seasons. I believe it is THE BEST series ever
written and performed, and I'm certain that there will NEVER again be a
show to equal it. As they say in Mayberry, "Lots of luck to you and yours!"

I'm 57 years old and have been watching TAGS as long as I remember. It
wasn't til I passed on the love for the show to my son, Joseph (now 35),
that TAGS became such an integral part of our daily lives. Joseph takes
everything to the extreme. He watches constantly, digging out all the
little "jewels" in each episode and calling them to our attention. His
zeal has helped us to realize that, unlike any other show in the history
of television, each moment is golden. My wife and I are original members
of his recently chartered TAGSRWC chapter "YOU DON'T KNOW US AND WE
DON'T HAVE A PHONE SO THERE'S NO USE CALLING UP AND CHECKING ON US".

nascar diecast, antiques of various kinds and anything related to TAGS.
I grew up watching TAGS with my dad and fell in love with the show and
it's characters. I would say the reason that I like TAGS more than any
other show (especially today's television shows) is that is good clean
and wholesome fun for the family. I have been looking for a chapter in
the Tulsa, OK area for a while and havent found one yet. Thanks and God
bless you and yours! In the enfamous words of Briscoe Darlin "More power
