I have an interesting gig coming up on the 27th of July. I have been asked if I would be willing to drive a gentleman around Eau Claire for a bit in my squad car while in uniform. He is a huge Mayberry fan, well not really that huge, only about 180 pounds, and he is retiring after working 35 years at a university about 70 miles from town. His colleagues have given him a voucher for a dinner in Eau Claire followed by a play at our Regional Arts Theater. He doesn't know about the Mayberry part. I will be picking him up at the Theater and driving him to the restaurant. The restaurant will be having a "Reserved for Barney Fife" sign out in front of the parking area. I will arrive with light flashing and siren blowing. I checked with our police and it is illegal, but they said they probably would not notice if I did it briefly. When he is done eating I will be taking him back to the theater for his play. They will be making a donation to my hometown library in exchange for my helping them out. It should be lots of fun.
Today I have a Mayberry presentation and tonight we have been invited to bring the squad car to a neighboring town's Historical Society Celebration. If it weren't for all this terrible heat,life here in Eau Claire would be almost perfect. -- Ken Anderson The Mayberry Guru 2906 May Street Eau Claire, Wisconsin 54701 www.mayberryreflections.com _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list [email protected] http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
