Trivia
As we all know,TAGS gave away no free advertising.All product names & logos were covered up.I can think of one brand that slipped through the cracks.Can you name at least one name brand that was either spoken or seen.Does not include any automobile insignia. Dewey in NC John Travolta's white suit from "Saturday Night Fever" was auctioned off for $145,500;Judy Garland's ruby slippers for $165,000;Charlie Chaplin's hat & cane for $211,500;Elvis's jacket for $59,700;and John Lennon's glasses for $25,875.Makes one wonder what Barney's gun/holster set would go for. A few years back I asked Karen Knotts if she knew where the pair(s) were and she replied she did not know. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/
John Masters
I always wondered what happened to John Masters as we never saw him in any color episodes that I can remember. Well, I was watching an old Dragnet 1967 and there he was. He was an explosive expert and helped track down stolen dynamite. Guess he had enough of old 14A so he moved to Los Angeles. -- Ken Anderson The Mayberry Guru 2906 May Street Eau Claire, Wisconsin 54701 www.themayberryguru.com www.mayberryreflections.com ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/
RE: WBMUTBB Digest, Vol 18, Issue 20 - Bike Licenses
I grew up in Greensboro, NC and bike licenses were only governed by the cities. It was more than 50 years ago since I got mine and I still remember the number. The metal license plates were dark red with embossed black numbers, about 2" x 3" and were attached with little metal strips on the frame just under the back of the seat. They had the city, state at the top in smaller letters with the 4-digit license plate number in larger letters in the center - - much like auto license plates now.

Little Fat Mayor
I recently watched several episodes of The Red Skelton Show.One of them featured Dick Elliott(mayor). He played the part of a big mustachioed bartender in a western scene.I'm assuming the mustache was a movie prop.Very good actor.

Bike Licenses
Licenses may make it easy to track a bike, but if you flip it over, on the bottom of the bike is a serial number. Write it down. Makes it easy to track a bike as most common thieves don't know this! I still get my kicks out of Barney and The Choir. Nothing could be funnier! Good ole 14A is the best song ever for them, but wonder why they had a concert and sang only one song??? ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/
Howard's adventure
When Howard quits his job and goes to an island, does anyone know just where that was shot? It looks really nice. Elizabeth in Ga ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/
