One of the great things about doing so many summer events is that I meet some really interesting people. On Saturday we were doing a car show at Eau Claire's Summerfest Celebration. A family who was here from China took an interest in the squad car. The older folks could not speak any English so their daughter translated everything for them. They spent a long time with me and I explained everything about Mayberry. The younger gal was a writer so she was very interested in what Mayberry was all about. I gave her one of my cards so she could check out my websites and learn more. She said she was going to order my book from Amazon so she could learn more. They took a lot of pictures and were just delightful.
Sunday we were at another car show that had over 700 classic cars. The very same thing happened again only this time the family was from South Africa. They had never heard of TAGS so of course I had to explain it and give them my card. They wanted me to handcuff their young daughter so she could take that back to South Africa and tell her friends all about it. They too took a lot of pictures and were texting them back to their friends in Johannesburg. I was able to share with them that in my senior year of high school our foreign exchange student was from Johannesburg. That was in 1964. -- Ken Anderson The Mayberry Guru 2906 May Street Eau Claire, Wisconsin 54701 www.themayberryguru.com www.mayberryreflections.com _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list [email protected] http://www.wbmutbb.com/
