Good News and Bad News for Mr. Anderson - The Mayberry Guru
My sincere condolences for the loss of your friend. Congratulations on winning first place! The citations for tattoos brought a smile to my face. I had never thought about no tattoos in Mayberry. Good luck and much success with your pending presentation. You will do great. ~Kim On 7/12/2012 11:00 AM, wbmutbb-requ...@wbmutbb.com wrote: I received some good news today and some bad news. Bad news is that a good friend and classmate from high school passed away suddenly yesterday. I have some wonderful memories of him. Another reminder of my own mortality. The good news is The Mayberry Guru and Squad Car won first prize at the big parade we took part in last weekend. They will be sending me a nice plaque. I think it was handing out all those citations for tattoos that did the trick. When I cite them for that I always ask if they have ever seen anyone in Mayberry with a tattoo and the answer is always no. I have a presentation to give next Thursday at a senior citizen apartment complex for an annual event they have. No parades for a few weeks no so the car can get a rest. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
TV Guide Tribute
Thanks for the info Miss Pamela. I'll see if I can nab one. It is good to share everyone's memories and to be comforted by Mayberry friends. ~Kim On 7/12/2012 11:00 AM, wbmutbb-requ...@wbmutbb.com wrote: I just received the newest issue of TV Guide, and I was so very pleased to see a beautiful photo of Andy gracing the cover along with a several page tribute inside. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Thank you for the information on the TV Guides. That was interesting. Please accept my apologies, one Missourian to another, for your loss during that tragic tornado. It does seem to change one's perspective about many aspects of life. ~Kim On 7/12/2012 11:00 AM, wbmutbb-requ...@wbmutbb.com wrote: Andy Griffith is featured on the cover of the current (July 16th) issue of TV Guide.? This will in all likelihood be the very last time TV Guide honors The Andy Griffith Show on the cover, unless they should choose to do so again when Ron Howard passes away, but hopefully it will be several decades before that happens. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Mayberry Days Update
The Surry Arts Council is pleased to announce that Morgan Brittany will be returning to Mayberry Days this year! She played Opie's First Love acting under the name Jane Caputo. Thank you to Bisse for posting the article about the tribute to Andy during the festival. From what I've been told, no details have been worked out yet, but I expect it will be very special. All the latest is on the website at http://www.mayberrydays.org. It's BIG! Jeff ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
CORRECTION - Suzanne Cupito
My apologies to the error in the previous post. Morgan Brittany's went under the name Suzanne Cupito. I used to know a girl named Jane Caputo. Sorry, guess I wasn't thinking... It's (still) BIG! Jeff ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
That is the question...
I think I always end up with ?'s showing up in my posts (I think it is a cut/paste issue). They really added some interesting flavor to the last ones (not to mention my own punctuation error with a misplaced 's. My fingers get ahead of my brain sometimes). It's (still) BIG!? I hope everyone agrees there is no question that Mayberry Days is BIG! haha Jeff ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Mayberry Rotary Club minutes of 9-15-65
At the Concord (NC) Rotary Club meeting of Wednesday, July 11th, I presented the Fellowship Report, offering a tribute to the late Andy Griffith. Part of my presentation was my reading of the minutes from a September 1965 meeting of the Mayberry Rotary Club, which I wrote in the spirit of both TAGS and Rotary. The Mayberry Rotary Club didn't exist but could very well have, since Rotary International's motto of Service Above Self certainly fits the kindness displayed by most Mayberrians. In these minutes, in a couple of cases I fudged the timeline -- by Sept. of '65 Barney had left Mayberry, and Howard Sprague had yet to be introduced (although when viewers first met Howard it was established that he'd lived quietly in Mayberry for years) -- so please enjoy the following not as a strict testament to continuity but instead as a tribute to the greatest television show of all time. One more thing: Are there any other Rotarians out there? --Michael Eury *MINUTES OF THE MAYBERRY ROTARY CLUB MEETING* *Wednesday, September 15, 1965* *Mayberry Hotel* *Recorded by Howard Sprague, Club Secretary* *Proofread by Howard’s mother* * * Meeting was called to order at 12:15 PM by President Andy Taylor. Lunch was prepared by Miss Bee Taylor, with Juanita Beasley from the Bluebird Diner waiting on tables. The menu was pot roast, stewed potatoes and carrots, and green beans. President Andy remarked that Aunt Bee’s lunch was “Mmmm-mmm-mmm.” However, her side dish of pickles was poorly received, with one Rotarian muttering under his breath that they were “kerosene cucumbers.” Reverend Tucker delivered the invocation, about the application of Rotary’s Four-Way Test to everyday life. When he discussed “Will it build goodwill and better friendships?” he fired a deliberate gaze at Floyd the Barber and Mr. Foley from the grocery store, since they’d recently been arguing over a punch in the nose incident that took place nearly 20 years ago. Barney Fife attempted to lead the club in a recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance, but couldn’t remember the words. Luckily President Andy was there to nudge him along. Goober Pyle presented the Fellowship Report, amusing his fellow Rotarians by taking off on Cary Grant—“Judy, Judy, Judy, Judy, Judy.” The club was pleased to welcome an unexpected guest, Gomer Pyle, home on leave from the Marines, who burst into the room shouting, “Soo-prise, soo-prise, soo-prise!” Mr. Meldrim the bank president recommended that the Mayberry Rotary Club take up a special collection to buy old Asa the bank guard a new gun, since his was all rusty and falling apart. Barney Fife passed around his deputy’s hat for the collection, at which time Floyd Lawson joked, “Don’t take any wooden nickels, Barney.” The club collected $12.38. Discussion was given to this year’s Mayberry Rotary fundraiser. President Andy suggested a benefit concern by Bobby Fleet and His Band with a Beat and Barney Fife suggested a Kissing Booth with the Fun Girls from Mount Pilot, but the club voted to adopt Gomer Pyle’s recommendation to sponsor a Halloween Haunted House at Old Man Rimshaw’s place. Today’s guest speaker was one of our own, Mayberry Deputy Barney Fife, with a program called “The Art of Self Defense,” where he dazzled the club with his judo moves he learned from his lessons with Mr. Izamoto in Mount Pilot. However, Barney’s presentation, and the meeting itself, was rudely interrupted at 12:45 by a rock thrown through the hotel window. Tied to the rock was a note with a crudely scribbled message: “You won’t let me join Ro-tar-y so here’s a rock from Ernest T.” President Andy quickly adjourned the meeting with a brisk recitation of the Four-Way Test and he and Deputy Fife darted out in pursuit of the rock-throwing Ernest T. Bass. On their way out, Goober Pyle called out to Andy, “Tell Ernest T. that Goober says hey!” *Meeting minutes respectfully presented by Howard Sprague,* *Secretary, Mayberry Rotary Club* ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
RE: Tattoo in Mayberry
I don't recall seeing any tattoos in Mayberry but I do remember when Gomer wanted to join the Marine's, he told Andy he wished he'd have time to go up to Raleigh and get a tattoo, an eagle and underneath it say Mother. Harriet , the chicken thief, hiding in Kelsey's Woods, USA ..Johnny Paul Jason says chewing tar is good for your teeth...That's an old wives taleJohnny Paul ain't married ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

RE: WBMUTBB Digest, Vol 13, Issue 204
In regarding the identity of Nice Dress Nellie There has been a big misconception over the years that Hazel Pierce was Nice Dress Nellie This is simply not true at all. To date, the identity of Nice Dress Nellie is unknown, just like Mr. Schwamp and Hazel the piano player in Barney and the Choir We can all keep digging though!
