Below are a couple of nice stories from a friend back in NC emailed me this morning. He told me he was going to get a hot dog at Char-Grill and walk down to Pullen Park to eat lunch by the TV Land statue in memory of Andy. Would have been nice to join him - I am having a hot dog for lunch in Nashville today.
------ My wife does foster care and humane society work with cats and brought this little kitten home to try and find it a home. I immediately named it Opie (just rub the red head for luck!). She posted the photo on the society’s web site (of course with the explanation of why the kitten was named Opie) and a family immediately expressed an interest. They visited the house yesterday and will pick him up next week. They are Andy fans so we had a lot to talk about. My wife actually got to meet Andy back in 2003. She was doing foster care (for kids) and she had a little girl from the Methodist Home in Manteo that was going to live with her. She went down there to pick her up and Andy and Cindi were there for the going away party that was given for the little girl. Andy was told that Susanne was a school teacher and invited her to sit down beside him on the piano bench and talked with her about the days when he was a school teacher. I wish she had a photo of that occasion. Andy gave the little girl $100 and later sent her a computer. They sent Christmas cards to the little girl for a couple of years also. ----- Jeff _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list [email protected] http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
