QUESTION
Hi All, I have a question. All this talk and uproar about the statue makes me wonder. What happened to cause it all? I believe that from the start, Karen Knotts, I would assume the executer of the estate, was in full agreement of the statue and said it was a great way to honor him. What happened to change all that? The rights of the character Barney Fife belong to Viacom like the other TAGS rights and CBS doesn't own them anymore than the Knotts estate. I guess what I don't understand the most is the problem with the statue in honor of his greatness. Does anyone have the complete details of this or any answers. Does Jim Clark have an opinion? How about you Allan, whats your opinion? I think it's a great idea and always will be. BTW, what was the talk of the Griffith associates and the lack of interest there? Any help and any answers would be greatly appreciated.

Going Home
Forgive me for another post so soon but I received so many emails about going home I feel compelled to share one more story. In 1926 my father immigrated to this great land at the age of 23. He left his family in Sweden and came to America to seek a better life. He always dreamed of returning home to see his family but he never did. Because of a language barrier we lost contact with all Dad's family until I was able to find in 1999 while doing research on my computer. I sent a letter and one morning after church I received a phone call from two first cousins in Sweden. One year later my wife and I spent two wonderful weeks in Sweden with my new family. We visited my father's birthplace, his childhood village, and his school. We were also able to visit the beautiful cemetery where both my grandparents are laid to rest. Knowing my father's dream to return home never came true I did one little thing for him. I went to my father's grave in Dorchester, Wisconsin, and I took some soil and rocks from his graveside. I took it to Sweden and mixed it in the soil of his parent's graves. Then I took some soil and rocks from my grandparent's graves and from my father's childhood home and I took them to Dorchester and mixed them with the soil on my father's grave. Now for eternity the ground from the two homes my father loved shall now be but one. By the way, this morning I received a wonderful email from my Cousin Patrik in Sweden wishing us a happy midsummer. He included many pictures of my Swedish family "back home". I promise no more postings. I will sit back and enjoy what all my TAGS friends write. Kenneth G.

Thanks
A great big thank you to Randy Davis for his heartwarming message. You just don't know how much it means to me to know that there are some fine teens out there who watch TAGS and appreciate it and wish for decent fare on TV. It is so easy to get discouraged with all the filth and grief we see in the media these days so I just rejoice when hearing news like this. Our fellow Mayberrians don't realize how much we help one another with these positive messages. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Lots of green in color episodes
I just bought Season 6 and the color is much sharper than any episodes I saw on TV. I have a question though: There seems to be A LOT of green -- green walls, green appliances, green furniture, ... I was wondering, is this a glitch from early TV color, or was green a favorable color for early TV color? Just wondering. DOUG GIBSON Ogden, UT - Want to be your own boss? Learn how on Yahoo!

Going Back Home
I guess sometimes you can go back home, but more times than nought you are remembered by who you were and not who you have became. People seem to take the "show me"attitude and that usually leads to failure. Being a big TAGS fan as most of us,I believe and try to live the way God intended us too. But I have found just as Jesus did when he returned home to Nazereth that we are remembered by who we WERE and not who we ARE. Just as Jesus was remembered as a carpenter`s son and a brother, he could not do many miracles there because his own people could not believe. He left after being thrown out. I have found that to be so true that it is scary. Andy always saw Otis`s good side instead of his bad habit`s. I believe with all my heart that was and is who he is. He alway`s tried to help Barney instead of putting him down and he alway`s seemed to learn a lesson from Opie in the end. I wish with all my heart that there was a Mayberry. I would give all I have to be there instead of this place we are now. But you know in my heart that there is such a place, Heaven is what it is called. - Yahoo!

yahoo poll again
> There is a poll on yahoo.com today which reads "There are legal issues > delaying the construction of a statue of TV legend Don Knotts in Mt. Airy, > NC, the basis for the town of Mayberry on TAGS. What do you think?" The > choices are : 1) "Don Knotts should definitely be honored with a statue. > He's the coolest!" or 2) "I'd respect the wishes of the Don Knotts > estate, which doesn't want it built." I read this after it posted and thought I may've broken a rule or two (No, not the one about writing on the wall). I hope that my vote, which was for the statue, wasn't misinterpreted by anyone to think that I wouldn't want the family's wishes to be respected. I voted for the statue because I believe Mr. Knotts deserves his work to be remembered in that way, but I certainly believe that the family would have the right to approve or disapprove it. I also expressed an opinion about the way the poll choices were given. In expressing that opinion, I hope that I didn't "get a rude". I just thought it could've been worded a little differently because if a person voted for the statue, it seemed that they were saying to go against the family's wishes, which I certainly wouldn't approve. Anyway, I hope no one was offended, and that no rules were broken. If so, I will go and hermitize myself with just raccoons, possums, and maybe a rock or two for company. :) Lisa ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Mayberry moment
I took a call last week from a customer named Mr. Fife, I resisted the urge to mention Barney, when my salesman returned from his home he told me that on the wall was the metal sign "Protected by Fife" So the next time he called I had to ask if he was a fan and of course he is. It was kind of neat getting to refer to a Mr. Fife. It is always nice to think of Barney and Mayberry.

Father's Day Gift
Greetings my fellow Mayberrians, I introduced my son & daughter to TAGS several years ago. We sit and watch the DVD's all of the time. They gave me season 2 for Fathers Day. Now I have Seasons 1 - 5. I'll be getting season 6 for my birthday. It's also interesting to note that when my teenage son has friends over that they always tend to migrate towards the great room and watch TAGS. It's so refreshing to him them laugh at Barney antics. I usually hear the comment about how they wish there were shows like that on TV now and how the lessons of the show apply to their life now. Good kids? Yes indeed. Randy "Rafe Hollister" Davis ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
