Witch Hazel
Lo and behold, I finally got my sample bottle of witch hazel! It's been several months since it was mentioned here on the digest, so I had given up on ever receiving my free sample. Then I came home today to find it had arrived. To whoever it was that alerted us digesters to the offer of free witch hazel, I thank you. (Maybe I ought to rephrase that -- digesters sounds kinda disgusting.)

It was a big blob of black bird poop. I pointed to it and told him not to sit there.He then proceeded to stick his finger right into the poop, thinking it was a blob of tar.I was laughing so hard that he knew right away what it really was.He then reached behind and stuck his finger in the mulch to wipe it off and something cut his finger!So see, it will cut you if you stick your finger in it or step in it.We were still laughing about it on the way home. It is dangerous for us country folks to go to the big city!!All I could think about was the Darlings and the messes they got into.I felt just like them. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Replacement Discs
Well, I have to add my kudos to Paramount for the others that have already appeared here. I received my replacement discs today, after only about four or five days. First of all, I'm impressed that Paramount would do this in the first place, and second, that they would be so prompt. I really appreciate such great customer service. On another note, my wife noticed today that the street appeared wet when Andy and Helen picked up Opie from the party in Opie's First Love, which aired today on TV Land. That would be another rare example of rain in Mayberry--if only a brief shower.

Alan Melvin
Does anyone know how Alan Melvin is doing and where he lives. He was a great character actor on the show and so many more shows. It would be great to see him at Mayberry Days if he is able.

Tags sighting operators
Last night I saw part of the movie Anatomy of a Murder on TV. It was made in 1959 and good ol' Floyd had a small part in it. He played a Dr. It was the first thing I've seen him in that he played it straight not comical. Also,if I remember correctly,the old Lassie show had an operator named Jenny. It seems to me that an operator SHOULD be named either Sarah or Jenny!

Myra Koontz Looking For Love
Ima Grillo was in the Dime Store today buying Q-tips and she told us that the story about Myra Koontz had to do with an ill-fated fling she had with one of the Milo boys after he returned from the War. You know he came back a little shell-shocked anyway, and the incident with Barney and the side-car didn't help the situation any. Lydia and Laura Lee Hobbs, It's a pity Mayberry don't have a psychiatrist. Barney would be a real study. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Small town phone operators--Aunt Bee beat me to it
Aunt Bee of Orlando was right. In many small towns the switchboard was located in the operator's home. Not much traffic at night, and she could handle it in her night things. In fact, at one time I worked for the company that provided phone service in Mt. Airy. I got to talking with one of our senior business managers one day. It seems he had been with the company since he was in the eighth grade. His mother had been the operator in one of our smallest exchanges. The switchboard was in her home, and when she was sleeping, he was the substitute operator. (Truth be told, he probably spelled her before that, but couldn't get paid for it until he was 14.) So, if any of you happen to be reading or posting to this list in your jammies or with curlers in your hair, just think that Sarah might have been doing a similar thing back in Mayberry. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Mayberry Like
Even though my hometown of Roanoke VA has a population of approx. 100,000, I used to live in a section of town I used to call Mayberry. It was called Grandin Village in a section of town called Raleigh Court. Within walking distance (a couple of blocks) of my home there were two grocery stores, a hardware store, a drug store, a bank, three churches, two gas stations, a fire house, a furniture store, an appliance store, two barber shops, a beauty parlor, two taverns, one dentist, one doctor, a post office, two or three restaurants, an elementary school, a middle school, a high school and a movie theater. If I hadn't worked across town, I could have gone weeks without getting in my car. We had everything Mayberry had except, the court house, the hotel and Orville Monroe's funeral parlor. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Jay Novello
I happened to walk by the TV while somebody flipped through the Brady Bunch marathon this week and who should be on the screen, but Jay Novello. Our honored Town Guest in episode #53 and, of course, our beloved Neil Bentley (My card, should you ever need my services.) in #142, Otis Sues the County. I really enjoy watching Jay work. dan ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
mayberry sightings
This may have been mentioned before but I noticed a couple of Tags alumni in the movie Sixteen Candles yesterday-- Edward Andrews (Prof. Hubert St.John--Aunt Bee's suitor) and Max Showalter aka Casey Adams (Ralph Mason-- The Man who bought the cannon ). They played the two Grandfathers. I didn't watch the whole movie but noticed these two. Everybody on the truck, Briscoe Bob Mundy - How low will we go? Check out Yahoo!
