George Foley
I was watching the George Foley (Tex) episode yesterday and have a question. Why did Andy get upset with Opie about telling him his friends pushed his car in front of the fire hydrant? Surely the bond between son and father is more than between Opie and his hooligan friends. -- Ted (Theodoric of York) ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

In Goober Makes History Goober borrows Andy's shotgun to go hunting and he tells Andy that maybe he'll get a bear. In Otis the Deputy Otis tells Andy and Howard that he seen some guys with shotguns up near the Carson Shack and that there ain't nothing worth hunting up there except some skinny ol' squirrels. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Observation of the pageant and names
I watched the Pageant recently. That teh episode about the Centennial, and Aunt Bee trying out for Lady Mayberry. Just some rambling thoughts here. There were a few times when Aunt Bee had to go to Play practice, that Andy just seemed to be kicking back at home. Why wasn't he, as James Merriweather going to play practice as well. Perhaps they were just working on certain scenes, but he doesn't seem the type not to be there to support. Did John Masters ever deliver bad news? He chickened out and had Andy tell Barney when he was a lousy singer, and he had Andy do the same thing when Aunt Bee was a lousy actress. For a guy so worried about his reputation in the norther part of th state, he was a bit spineless. If the script of Happy Valley was true..whetever happened to the Indian reservation, and Nugatuck's family?? All we hear about after that is one Native American at election time. I find it interesting that just a few days ago, I made fun of my own name (Gritton) with my post about the Grit and then there was a little moulage about the name Crump and Ken's piece that I found very witty and harmless. We can all be like Barney at times and be high-spirited but we goota watch that vein poppin out of our neck, when we take things too seriously. I agree that the name Crump, was conjured up by the writers to make Andy think of a teacher who might be somewhat repulsive. Miss Crump then showed by her physical appearance, and manner, that you can't judge a person by their name. She, if fact, brought a certain grace and dignity to the name Crump C_R_U_M_P. I agree,though, that we need to respect the names of real people. We've all probably been teased about something, and a name is something every deserves repsct for.

Explanation
I would just like to say I am sorry if I unintentionally offended anyone with my recent posting about Helen Crump. I certainly did not mean to imply that I was making fun of any person's name. I was simply doing a play on words of the fictitious Crump name. It is interesting that the name Anderson was referred to as I have a story to share about my name. When I was teaching third grade there was a second grade teacher just down the hall from me with the last name of Anders. He was about 30 years younger than I was at the time. Whenever we would meet each other in the hallway, he would say Hi Son and I would answer with Hi Dad. One day the kids asked us how he could be my dad when he was so much younger than I was. So I asked them what his name was and they answered Mr. Anders. Then I would say, Well, who am I? They of course would say, You are Mr. Anderson. And I would follow with, Yes, you see, I am Mr. Anders' son. It took a few of these for the kids to finally catch on and when they did, they they really laughed. Then after that when they would see Mr. Anders somewhere they would say to me, Mr. Anderson, there goes your dad. This became a standing joke at school until I retired. Even some of the parents got in on it. So again, folks, I was just trying to have a little innocent fun with Miss Crump. Kenneth G.
