I gave my 37th Mayberry Presentation today since starting back in 2007. In fact the church that I was at today was also my first presentation I had done. Of course back then I didn't have a PowerPoint presentation or my uniform or my squad car, so they were very surprised to see all the changes. Two ladies in the audience were classmates of Joel Redlund, AKA Ferdie, who was Clara Edward's nephew in the Keevey Hazelton episode. They remembered him very well and had no idea he had been in TAGS. One person also remembered Patty Regan from school here in Eau Claire. Patty appeared in two episodes of TAGS. One lady has been to three of my presentations and was surprised how each one is a little different. Today's group of church women was the perfect place to bring out my bottle of Colonel Harvey's Elixir prop that I made. I offer to sell it after showing the clip of Aunt Bea and her church group singing around the piano. I have another presentation next week at an assisted living complex in Eau Claire. Just because of all these wonderful folks who love to learn about Mayberry, I have been able to donate over $1000 dollars to my hometown library just this year. I keep my fee at only $50 so small groups can afford to get me, but quite often groups will give me more when they learn it goes to the library. The same thing happened last year when I donated the money to the food pantry. There are still a lot of great Mayberry people out there in this great land of ours. I am sure each of you knows many as I do. Bless them all.
