My question about who was sitting behind the desk in the courthouse in 1946 was answered correctly off-line. And yes, it was Sheriff Poindexter.
And I did know it was Jerry Van Dyke's decision not to join the show, but these were just my "would'ves." I also understand that Bernard Fox (Malcolm Merriweather) would like liked to join the cast but got caught up in a producer change and the offer was never made to him. Speaking of Malcolm Merriweather. I noticed there is a real Malcolm J. Merriweather with an impressive resume as a baritone, conductor and teacher in New York City. I don't think he hails from Heckmondwike, though. dan _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list [email protected] http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
