*** Article: Ron Howard Talks 50 Years of Opie ***
Hey Folks, There's a very nice interview with Ron Howard about the 50th Anniversary of The Andy Griffith Show. Jim Clark posted the link over at the TAGSRWC Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/tagsrwc) and thought the folks here on the Digest wouldn't want to miss it either. You'll find it at the URL below ( I shortened it so it would be easier to copy and paste. http://bit.ly/aNy2Kx ---Allan ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Mayberry Days
Just got back from my Mayberry Days event,and it was really a blast. This was only my 2nd time to go,and it was a hoot! One of my very good friends went with me to see the parade,he had never been before,and he loved it! I hate that they sold out of the t-shirts,I think the ones this year are really nice! Looking forward to next year!! Goober says "Hey" ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Cow Thieves
Isn't the fellow whose cows got stolen the same one who lost his purse (the one Opie found with $50 in it)? Fletcher Tate is the cow owner - Parnell Rigsby lost huis purse. Lucille Richmond ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Mayors, Tom Sawyer and Misprinted Signs
I have always been a bigger fan of Mayor Pike than Mayor Stoner. I liked the benevolent little fat mayor over the "rule with an iron fist" mayor. Besides, Mayor Stoner had a bit of a drinking problem. Paul, Thanks for pointing out the similarities between TAGS and Tom Sawyer. I haven't read Tom since I was 12 and remember most of the things you pointed out, but may go back and read it again. Teresa, don't give them too hard a time for misspelling "enlargements". We have an Italian Restaurant here in town that specializes in pizza, calzones and stromboli. Their large lighted sign says "Pizza, Calzones and Stomboils". It would cost a lot to redo the sign and everybody knows what they mean anyway. Harry in Salem, VA ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
misspellings
You never know when you will run into a misspelling or mistaken word usage. In a recent insurance publication, a columnist wrote "safety deposit box" vs. the correct "safe deposit box." I don't believe anyone employs proofreaders anymore. You often find gross errors in novels these days. It's a shame. Oh well.

dear Tags, I just found out that Joy Ellison played Mary Alice's best friend in the episode where she broke her date with Opie to go out with the older young man, Fred Simpson. She seemed more upset about what it was going to do to Opie than Mary Alice did! All she wanted to do was be seen with Fred Simpson! I just can't believe that girl in that episode is the same little girl in the Beauty Pageant, Scobbies Foreclosure. I know these aren't the real names of the episodes. that little girl eating the cookie with Andy was so cute. God Bless her going on after TAGS and having a wonderful career as a dialect coach. Oh, I don't know if this has been mentioned or not, but I saw a big, it's big oversight of the prop dept. In a drug store scene with Ellie, i believe it was Andy something, can't remember. Andy and Ellie were standing in front of the counter where Emma Watson had tried to sneak behind to help herself to her pills. Anyway, the sign above the counter on the shelf advertising the photo lab said Enlargements, but it was Misspelled! it was spelled: ENLARGMENTS! I just thought wow! Someone check it when they see a scene in the drug store. Our local tv station shows TAGS at 10 thru 11 pm every night 7 days a week. last night was the Christmas episode. My favorite part is when Ben gives Bee the sewing basket and Ellie and Mrs. Scobbie a gift and they instantly turn and start singing Noel the Angels and making him a plate and as Andy is taking him to put him in a jail cell, they say Ben? and he turns around and is given a plate and a cup of eggnog. just beautiful, just beautiful!!! Sand Mt. Mizzus Why-lee Take him around let him meet people, have him dance with Remona. Ma'am, will you please stop talking about the weather!

Taters
How about the Mayor wearing the old Potato Queen crown? You know, it takes a very good looking, very smart person to have the confidence to clown around like that. That's why I have to maintain a very dignified, reserved demeanor!!! ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
