Digest issues are not missing
Hey folks, Several folks asked about missing WBMUTBB Digest issues. Just to ease your minds, there are no missing issues. Nobody had sent anything to the Digest since the 10th (Issue 366) so no issues came out on Sunday or Monday. There should be one today and it'll be Issue 367. --Allan ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
FBI
Remember when Andy realized the two crooks weren't with the FBI because they allowed their pictures to be taken. Is this true of the FBI? -- Walter Ted Kamprad ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Nip it in the bud
Recently my daughter, who works in the HR department of a local business, was having some issues with an employee. The young man showed great promise in his interview but after he was hired, he was late several times to work. My daughter was discussing this problem with the young man's supervisor and said We've got to nip this in the bud!! She was so proud of herself for channeling her inner Barney and, knowing what a huge TAGS fan I am, she had to call and tell me. I'm very proud of her!! ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

TAGS Chapter Visit
Last week,a fellow chapter member and I visited Wally's Front Porch Chapter in Wilson NC.It is a 2 1/2 hour drive one way,but worth every mile.We had a covered dish Christmas dinner.Good food and Mayberry conversation was had by all in attendance.This was our second consecutive year of attending.Several of them will be making plans to attend our chapter soiree here in Laurinburg in early spring. Their chapter meeting is held in George Boyd's replica of Wally's Garage.The inside /outside of the building is something to behold.He has stuff in it TAGS Museum in Mt.Airy would go gaga over.He has some really serious collectibles. Tour buses from far and wide have made the trek to his place.It would really be worth the trip to his museum. If you are into antiques,you would hit the motherlode,as he has a large antique shop near the museum. He has some really neat tee's for sale which depict his station.You can visit via the web at www.wallysfillingstation.com. Do any of you chapter members ever visit other chapter functions?Good opportunity for TAGS fellowship. Dewey in NC WE IS FRIENDS Me and you is friends. You smile,I smile... You hurt,I hurt...

The Joys of Walking to School
Being a teacher for 36 years I have always enjoyed watching TAGS episodes that have a school related story. I have always wondered how far Opie lived from the school. He must have walked past the courthouse to and from school as he would always stop in and see his pa. It must have been very close to the courthouse too as he would sometimes go see his pa during noonhour. I was alwayas a bit confused (which is not unusual for me ) when Opie was walking home the day he found the purse with all the money. He was on what looked like a country road. Always wondered why he took that way home. In any event, I was so fortunate during my school days to have been able to walk to school every day except for my last two years of high school when we consolidated with the school in the next town which was just four miles away. I walked the same route to school approximately 2000 times during my formative years. I got to know every inch of that route. I recall stopping to pick cattails when the ditch was full of water. I can also remember the dog bites I received from our neighbor's mean dog. I even recall getting butted by an old billy goat that one of our neighbors kept. Those were wonderful slow walks. I also remember mean Tom Younker who was the bully. He was removed from our neighboring parochial school and came to the public school. He made my life miserable on several occasions when I was walking home from school. I don't recall ever fighting with him, so he must have just got tired of picking on me. I also remember with a thump in my chest, those days when I took another route home. It was after pretty little Pat moved to town and I would walk her home and we would stop at the drug store for a coke. One night we were sitting at the back table having our cokes when who should walk it, but our teacher. I thought I would die of embarrassement. But he just smiled. He must have remembered what it was like to be 12 and in love. I was twelve years old at that time. Those were the days when parents would not even think of walking their kids to school or picking them up at the door. We were so independant and living in a very small town certainly had its advantages. -- Ken Anderson The Mayberry Guru 2906 May Street Eau Claire, Wisconsin 54701 www.mayberryreflections.com ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
