color episodes and ads for Mr. Schwump
My all-time favorite episode is a colour one; "Only a Rose," in which Clara gives up her blue ribbon to Aunt Bee; a greater sacrifice in the name of friendship and fairness you'd be hard to find! As for ads in USA Today in hopes of finding Mr. Schwump, I would be afraid of wasting money if none of his kinfolk read this publication; I only read it when I travel and it's free in the hotel.

spelling
My grandmother was known as ' Gramma B 'her name was Bernice.. She prefered to be called Bee, Bea or even B. Since we were young she did not mind any spelling errors. just a different way of looking at it...Mayberry's finest crossing guard,Erin ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

NC Geography
The short answer is "Yes." The writers dealt with an unrealistic geography of NC. But I wonder if they did so to make sure to mention special places. "Toast" and "Star," which each actually had town limit signs back to back were mentioned. Manteo, Siler City, even the relative size of "Mt. Pilot" and its relationship to "Mayberry" didn't fit the map. And wasn't Fancy Gap placed in NC rather than over the line in Virginia? Imagine my surprise when I moved to NC and found out where stuff really was! You don't suppose they were just messin' with my head. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Picnic
Picnic was a delightful movie. When I was a little girl, daddy was in the service working with explosives. The movie people asked th Air force to to the fire works for the movie. So on the night, daddy brought his girls to set---my mama and me. And we enjoyed the display. Several years kater in Texas, another movie was made and needed daddy and crew to do artillery movie was the alamo, with john wayne. I visited the set ,I met john wayne, I was 4. It was fun. A few years later at another air force base, daddy was assigned the artillery for the vietnam movie filmed at hurl bert field. John Wayne rEmembered me. He carried me. Around on his shoulders.on the last day I asked john. Wayne if he was a cowboy. He said. Yes- I told him I wanted to a cowgirl abd he might like to meet andy griffith. Even now 50. Years. Later I think. Kindly. About john wayne abd stilllove the movies. Many carried andy alumni. Nice memories of daddy and his girl.

USA Today ad...
(if i am reading it right)...a full page national ad, B&W, during the week is just shy of $120,000 :-) however if you spend $8,000,000 or more (yes that's 8 MILLION) you can get a 26% discount! now if you would want a separate section (insert), 2 pages is only $40,000 + about a $100 for depending on regional or national. there are a lot cheaper rates, but i can't quite figure out exactly what they apply to... tom "PEACE is Patriotic" ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Re: Color episode favorites WBMUTBB Digest, Vol 11, Issue 281
Ref Topic #3 WBMUTBB Digest, Vol 11, Issue 281 I enjoy many of the color episodes - The spaghetti story is hilarious. My favorite is the last episode, A Girl for Goober, Mayberry's "E-Harmony" episode. I think it was touching that Goober is portrayed as someone besides a "dip stick". Even though he and his match were as different as night and day, they formed a friendship. Goober said he was "looking for a nice person and you sure are that" (maybe not accurately quoted but close enough).A tip: Turn the color off on the color episodes. It makes a huge psychological difference and it's therapedic. Linda -- -- - -- - - ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Hallmark Christmas Tree Ornament
I was in Hallmark (Card Shop in Lancaster Ohio) today and saw an Andy Griffith Show ornament. It was a tv with Andy and Opie walking to the lake (on the screen). If you push a button, it plays the theme. It was about a $17. Happy viewing.Tim ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Lawyer in bathing suit
While I am not as fond of the color shows, I do like some. Howard the Comedian, Dinner at Eight. But, someone mentioned the lawyer in the bathing suit show and not liking it. I don't mind watching it because of the terrible sunburn that Andy got and then he has to explain it to everyone. Including Helen. Helen is always so jealous of every woman that Andy talks to. It just strikes me funny when Andy has such a red face from sitting in the sun. Bee in New Concord, OH ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

What Calvin Coolidge said
Hey, I finally found out what Calvin Coolidge said, other than "I choose not to run." I get a daily e-mail that includes quotes from the founding fathers and other political leaders through the years. This was in today's e-mail: "We demand entire freedom of action and then expect the government in some miraculous way to save us from the consequences of our own acts Self-government means self-reliance." --President Calvin Coolidge (1873-1933) I think old Calvin had something there!

Coming to Roanoke
Larry, Are they coming to Roanoke with John Masters for the choir competition?? Just kidding. I grew up and work in Roanoke, now live next door in Salem. Tell her to try and get by the Texas Tavern or Roanoke Weiner Stand while she's here. Closest thing we have to the Snappy Lunch. Roanoke Weiner Stand is of course, hot dogs. Texas Tavern has chili, small burgers, hot dogs and a wonderful sandwich called the Cheesy Western. Large hamburger bun, small burger pattie, fried egg, cheese, onions and their special relish. Might sound wierd, but it's god! Tell her to have fun. Maybe she can get to the top of Mill Mountain and see the Mill Mountain Star. There is a webcam on the star at www.roanokeva.gov/starcam. But you won't see anything today. Cloudy and raining.

Misspelled Words & Ge-o-gra-phy
I've always been bothered by the misspelled "Ashville" on the train station schedule in the "Don't Miss a Good Bet" episode. And, Michael, I'll bite - How far apart are Raleigh and Asheville? I remember many years ago flying into Raleigh for a seminar in Chapel Hill then taking some time off for a drive that took me to Asheville. But I have no memory of the distances involved.

Did geography of our State simply not figure into the series at all? Yesterday was watching Barney comes back for the Reunion and something was mentioned about Asheville "just a couple hours from Raleigh" .. ? Anyway, there seemed to be little concern over State geography and borders. No matter. "I just hope they don't change them before I take my test". peace & love Michael Burch, Chapter Pres.

Aunt Bee
Maybe in return to Mayberry, Aunt Bee could have reconnected with her cousin Bradford and finally gone into the Ice Cream business. She could employ Otis to pedal her ice cream on his truck, and she could have the compnay HQ in Mayberry, while Bradford tours around the country promoting the business.

trivia contest
I would still like to know if anyone has or remembers some of the trivia questions at this yrs. trivia contest. When we went to Mayberry Days back in '04 (my one and only time) we loved the trivia contest. And, I remember the one hard question that for some reason I knew. Which was - What is the number on Clara's jar of pickles at the best pickle contest? Anybody know without looking? "This year I went wild with allspice." Brenda J.
