Things to do in Mayberry
Now I know that the price of gas is almost back to normal, However I would still have to drive over to Wally's to fill up. 30 cents a ding is still better then $2.25 a gallon...PS: I voted to keep the Mayberry City Jail;) http://amayberrystateofmind.com AMSOM is amayberrystateofmind.Hey to you and yoursRick Gomer GandyWhere Air and water is always freeWhen in Mayberry stop and say hey to Bert Miller at his Roadside Stand GoAMSOM _ Search from any Web page with powerful protection.

Trained noticer?
Having been on this list for a relatively short period of time, I am not aware of what it takes to be designated a trained notice. I am sure the training is quite rigorous! That being said, I really think that Opie, Jr. might be allowed to fast track right to the trained noticer status for his spotting of the brown (beer?) bottle.

residents, boiled dinners and Hawthorne Village
I believe Andy once said that he knew Howard in high school and that he kept to himself (probably that clingy mother of his). I've seen some boiled dinners refer to a beef brisket simmered with carrots, cabbage and potatoes. Ken, what fishing piece from Hawthorne are you speaking of? My memory isn't so good in this dept so it's preying on my mind! I got my drugstore too but it doesn't really remind me of Walker's; but that's okay, if it says Mayberry, I like to add it to my collection.

RE: Aunt Bee's Car
I'm not sure of the manufacturer and model but I posted some screen captures on Mayberry Historical Society for the all the official car identification notifiers out there. Also, if you have a look at the photos you may find the answer to another question that has been asked before. Check it out.

Yrs here
Also, I usually ask you all this time of year to end your posts with how long you've been with WBMUTBB. Thanks, and I appreciate it. I know I had to join at the end of '97 or the beginning of '98, so I have been around for almost 9 years. It is hard to believe all that has gone on in our little corner of Mayberry in those yrs.

Goober as a boy in Mayberry
In the Case of the Punch in the Nose, Goober is called in as at witness of the original event and it was stated that he was just a boy (sitting in the barbershop) when it happened. This is sort of a strange twist because he is one of the few characters that was an unseen character (talked about by Gomer) before he became a real character. Good memory above by Aunt Bee of Orlando. The last reference I remember to Howard was his first job at Mayberry Transfer Company. I still say my thing to do in Mayberry would be to train with Sarah and be her backup operator. I work for a phone company and I am not as good a tool man as Mr. McBeevee to be a pole or tree man. So I'd work the switchboard for a while and learn all kinds of stuff. When Sarah came back on duty, I would just sit on a bench in town and wait for Mr. Schwamp to come by and smile, or Jud and Chester to tell stories about Barney or Floyd to discuss Presidential history.

Re: Aunt Bea's car
The 1966 Studebaker Daytona was the personal car of actress Frances Bavier, who portrayed Aunt Bea of Sheriff Andy Taylor in television's Andy Griffith Show. Miss Bavier, a New York native, died in 1989 at the age of 86. She lived her last 17 years at Siler City, N.C., about 35 miles east of Denton FarmPark. Her furniture, the car and other property were brought by moving van in 1972 from California to the home she bought in Siler City. She obtained a North Carolina driver's license and drove the car to the grocery, bank and post office. In later years, she employed a chauffeur who tried to convince her to get a newer car. Miss Bavier's preference for her beloved Studebaker was never swayed. It was produced in the last year of the Studebaker brand, assembled in Canada with a six-cylinder engine made by Chevrolet and labeled Studebaker Super Skybolt Six. Miss Bavier bought it new in California during her residence there in the role of Aunt Bea. The car is owned by Denton residents Brown Loflin and Sean Bingham. They paid $20,000 for it June 2, 1990, at a Raleigh auction of property the actress bequested to the benefit of the state university system's Center for Public Television. Richard Cosgrove ( I got this info from one of the websites listed below). If you click on either of the two websites, you can actually see Aunt Bea's car. It is not in the best shape.  http://share.triangle.com/node/17221 http://www.tripadvisor.com/Travel-g49081-d143836/Denton:North- Carolina:Denton.Farm.Park.html ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Goober and Howard
We know Goober lived in Mayberry when he was 5 (The Case of the Punch in the Nose) so it's safe to assume he grew up there, and in Howard's first episode (The County Clerk) Andy tells Helen that he went through high school with Howard. Paul Mulik My daughter and I were wondering if Howard and Goober grew up in Mayberry, or moved to town as adults? ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
