I don't have Neal Brower's Mayberry 101 book in front of me, but if I recall 
correctly Harvey Bullock moved from Oxford, NC to Binghamton, NY and 
"Tuscarora" was what his Father said when they crested a big hill in the area 
so the connection to NY and the tribe would have gone back his growing up in 
that area.

Last weekend I saw an old Charles Bronson movie called "10 to Midnight" and 
recognized Meyer's Lake in one sequence. The lake level was up and the killer 
(naked) was chasing the girl (also naked) through the woods and she gets 
stabbed right where Opie throws the rock in the lake. It was a typical plot 
formula for Bronson movie, but "sometimes I like to see a bat." I can't 
recommend the movie, but thought it was neat to recognize the area from TAGS. I 
was just glad Andy and Opie were not going fishing at the time!

Look away, boys.
