Thanks Pam for that list of Alcatraz movies. It sounds like most of them from the pre-TAGS era were not about the prison, so Barney must have heard about it from newspapers and magazines.
No wonder you couldn't understand the question. I'm going to have to get Gloria to do my typing for me--that was bad. The question was--Who and what were all the influencers to make Barney the Law enforcement officer and Jailer that he was. 1) Stories about the famous Jail "Alcatraz" (or one of the movies Pam mentioned) 2) The Police Gazette--Barney had a subscription and offered to loan them to Andy 3) The Movie G-Men with Glen Ford 4) Experience guarding those books at the Army PX Library 5) Newspaper articles about famous prisoners such as Gentleman Dan Caldwell Thanks for any other thoughts The Untrained Voice _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list [email protected] http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
