well it's good to be back and read all the things I've missed. I remember the last time I read a WBMUTBB post was on March 10. I remember because that afternoon I had a severe stroke and ended up in the hospital. I'm better now although I have some paralysis in my left hand and not able to hold bigger than a pencil. But I'm far from admitting to handicap status so life goes on. I came back and found over 1200 e-mails and all the WBMUTBB posts for the past month and a half. Got a lot of reading and scrapping to do. Anyway while convelescing My wife bought me the 50th anniversary DVD. I got to tell you I teared up watching Return To Mayberry. That is one awesome movie..I had kind of forgotten the plot although I remembered it had something to do with a monster...I've also continued to watch and re-watch all the episodes..I noticed something in 'A Wife For Andy. That's where Barney tries to set up Andy with every girl in town. When the girls come through the door at Andy's they come from the left..The porch steps are on the right..for them to enter they would have to step across the porch in front of the door but they don't..And when Andy looks out to see if any more girls are coming he looks to the left not back toward the steps...Wonder if anyone else noticed this... Didn't mean to carry on so, but its good to be back. Thanks Alan for posting all these conversations I really do appreciate it Vic friskey ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Hello
Silent moments on TAGS. This is when Clara has just left the kitchen out the back door (The Pickle Story) and Aunt Bee does the waving of the hands and making a face. Doing a pinch more of cloves and allspice (I think). In Bringing up Opie, when Opie crawls into the bed of the truck and goes to sleep. My stomach starts hurting each time, all them apples. In Ellie Saves a Female, when Andy takes Frankie Flint and puts her on the top rung of the fence and next door boys come over to talk with her. This is to Mike Peacock and Bob Bravetti. I'm not sure what happened to make you want to leave the digest. I've had my feelings hurt by a former member of the digest. I finally had to let the hurt feelings go, Why, because my stomach was in knots all the time, every time I opened my e-mails or digest. I'm now back to reading and posting on the digest, not often in the posting area. The former member sent hurtful and hateful e-mails to me personally and not to the digest. Which I am very grateful. The reason I am grateful was because of the language in the e-mails. I just started deleting the e-mails when the were sent. Margaret Floyd: 'I'm going to Nashville.'

re Dixon/re Don Knotts
Some people in the younger groups Don't know The Andy Griffith Show and/or Barney Fife but do know Three's company and Mr. Furley so I can understand those groups thinking that Don Knotts is best known as Mr Furley but those are minority groups because Tags is still very popular throughout and even the youngest of children is some groups absolutely know who Barney Fife is. This reply comes from first hand knowing as I am Don's look a-like and I impersonate him to some extent. Don is an every day conversation in my life.Don Knotts is best known for his role as Barney Fife.

RE: Silent Moments on TAGS
One of my favorite silent moments was when Andy took Gomer to the MarinesAndy is looking in the window of the Quonset hut and Gomer is sitting there with the bucket on his head! That really makes me laugh out loud!! Regards, Sue Doughty High Point, NC ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Don/Barney/Ralph
I have been reading the whole Don Knotts thread and how he is better known (to some) as Ralph Furley and better known (at least to all of us on the digest) to others as Barney Fife. One of the classes in my school has had a learn about your state unit lately, and of course, Don Knotts was a West Virginian! So this particular class did posters about our state and one of the students had on his/her poster several famous ppl. from WV. One of the famous people listed was Don Knotts, which I was surprised and pleased to see on the poster. But in light of the recent discussion here on the digest, I was really surprised and pleased to see what followed his name on the poster. It said something like, Best known as Barney Fife on The Andy Griffith Show! That was so awesome to see, especially with our recent topic here, and it made me happy to see that someone in the world agrees that Mr. Knotts is best known as our dearly loved deputy sheriff Barney Fife!! : ) (It was especially great to see it since the class that did these posters are only 5-6 years old!) Y'all have a Mayberry Day! Lisa ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Prices
Don, your comment reminds me of something. I cannot believe how much stronger I have gotten in the last 50 years. When I was a small boy, myself and my sister would go grocery shopping with my mother. Mother would buy the large majority of the groceries that we would be needing for the coming month all at one time, since my father was only paid once a month. Hard as it is to believe now, about $40 worth of groceries would feed our family of four for the entire month. But getting back to my feat of strength. 50 years ago, it took myself, my sister, and my mother to carry those $40 worth of groceries. Now a days I can carry $40 worth of groceries with only one hand. Must be all the working out I do. Orville Hendricks - Selling Butter and Eggs. Ken, ya just can't ignore progress. For example, one thing I can do now that I couldn't do a few years ago is put $40 worth of gas in my car.

Bittersweet Moments
I had a rather bittersweet Mayberry evening last night. I presented my What's Your Hurry? Mayberry presentation at a library in a very small town of 1000 which is just 20 miles from my small town. We had a very good turnout with a number of my family and former high school friends showing up. Two of my very close and dear childhood buddies both came and I hadn't seen either in over 45 years. So that was a wonderful surprise and we had a great time talking about our growing up years together. However, during our conversations I learned that both are alone after going trough divorces and both are totally estranged from their younger brothers. That was so sad for me to hear as both came from traditional close knit families and I knew their brothers so well too. So hard to see that life has dealt them both some rather difficult challenges. I keep thinking back to how simple and innocent our lives were back them only to realize that as we grow up and change our lives often change in ways that we would rather avoid. But in any event it was great to see both these guys as well as others from my high school days. Tonight I am doing another presentation at a Holiday Inn in town here and it will be for a church group. So I am looking forward to another fun evening sharing my love for Mayberry. Last night was the first time I changed into my Checkpoint Chickie outfit during the presentation and it was a big hit. Kenneth G.
