Oscar Winners
I know Jack Nicholson won at least 3 or 4 Oscars. I'm thinking George Kennedy was also a winner. And while not appearing on camera, Ron 'Opie' Howard won several Oscars as director and producer. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Re: WBMUTBB Digest, Vol 12, Issue 199
My guess for the second TAGS actor to go on to win an Oscar is Ron Howard. **Barn ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Keys and Parades
Regarding jail keys: in the episode "The Jinx" there are two key rings hanging on the wall by the cells. I happened to be watching that episode today and spotted that. Thanks Dewey, for your kind words regarding the Mayberry Parade. My wife and I took the squad car to the July 4th parade at a neighboring town again yesterday. We had just a great time. It was a large parade and they had four announcer stands along the parade route. Every time we passed a stand the announcer gave us a very nice welcome and each had something very special to say about Mayberry. Each one thanked us for coming and invited us back next year. The town was just ten miles from where I had taught so once again I saw a lot of familiar faces and a number of former students .Getting hugs along a parade route is so special. I had my picture taken with the city cop on duty that day. I had gone up to him and asked him if he had a couple of extra bullets I could borrow. I saw a Marine private in full uniform and I tried to get him to have a picture with me as Gomer Pyle USMC, but he was too busy hobnobbing with his friends. I thought that would have made a great picture. I even arrested and cuffed a young boy and led him a short distance along the parade route but then he managed to escape much to the delight of the parade watchers. Pretended to step into some horse droppings and that got a lot of laughs. All in all, it was a grand way to spend the birthday of this great nation of ours. So much Americana in these small Midwestern towns.

Independence Day in Mayberry

Jail keys
>>>I noticed the other day that when Andy returned from Raleigh and had left >>>Barney in charge of the office, Barney had?arrested practically everybody in >>>town and when they went to let the folks out of the two cells, there were >>>miraculously, two key rings.? In every other episode I recall there was only >>>one key ring, locking people in by mistake or whatever.? Where did the extra >>>key ring come from?? Hmmm.? Mysteries of Mayberry!!? <<< Lucille, I had the same reaction the first time I noticed that. However, as I looked for the keys in other episodes, I realized that there are other times that two rings of keys are on the nail rather than the usual one. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason for that that I can tell, but it does make you wonder why.

correction to revious post
OH MY..!!! My bucket had a hole in it and some of the thought waves escaped..I have to correct myself concerning the four Mayberrians who appeared in award winning movies... Three Mayberrians appeared together in a movie in which Estelle Parsons won Best Supporting Actress...The movie itself didn't win any awards the fourth Mayberrian appeared in a movie that DID win five Oscars... Sorry for the blunder... Vic Friskey ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Mayberrian sighting
I watched "Titanic" , the 1997 version with Leonardo Dicaprio and Kate Winslow Sunday night. Because I was an OTR trucker for 20 years including the time this movie came out and subsequently made it to TV..I was never able to see it before now..Lo and Behold..in the scene where Jack is rescuing Rose from jumping overboard the security guards show up and I couldn't believe who was with them..None other than Mayberry's Malcolm Merriwether..as Col. Archibald Gracie... That got me to thinking and I put a two gallon galvanized bucket on my head to helpHey, It works...The movie won 11 Oscars and I got to thinking of all the movie stars who appeared on TAGS. With the bucket still on my head I thought of two movie stars who won Movie Oscars after appearing on TAGs...Can you name them ?? There were also four other actors on TAGS who appeared in Oscar winning movies...Can you name them ?? After all that thinking I had to get the bucket off my head, so there might be more to this than i know...
