All the talk about Hoosier Cabinets actually reminded me of Indiana - Hoosiers.
In 2004, Mayberry In The Midwest III was held in New Castle, Indiana (Hoosiers)
and it was a very good Mayberry Cast Reunion. There were so many cast members
there that they had to use some adjoining towns to hold the autograph sessions.
I really wanted to see her and get Maggie Peterson Mancuso's autograph
(Charlene Darling) so we drove a short distance to Knightstown, Ind. where she
was in the Hoosier Gym - Home of the Hickory Huskers. For the non - basketball
fans, this is the gym where they filmed the movie "Hoosiers" and it was exactly
like in the film, which remains one of the better sports films of all time. I
did get Charlene's autograph (she was absolutely delightful) and a picture of
me taking a basketball shot which I made. It was a lay up. Not only were the
stars there, but a whole host of tribute artists were there including "Barney",
"Otis"," Goober"," Opie", "Howard", "Ernest T" and "Floyd", who gave my wife a
"haircut" while sitting in the stands - I've got the picture to prove it.
Lastly, Hoosiers also reminded me of Darrell and Debbie Miles who later left
the Hoosier state for Mt. Airy and opened their store - Mayberry on Main.I
guess Hoosiers means a lot of different things to different people. The
Gollywobbler.
