TAGS names in book
Due to many problems I am in a wheelchair and I read much of the time. Recently while reading, I realized the two dogs in the story were named Earnest T and Otis. I found this interesting. The next name was of a former teacher - Mrs. Mendlebright. Then Ben Weaver was a lawyer and the main young lady's first name was Emma!Needless to say, my imagination went to work on how funny our TAGS folks would be as the ones in the book! I loved it - but it does show many, many folks love TAGS,too. Margaret Dishman (from Cookeville) AMSOM chapter ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Digest, 2-2-10, vol.11, issue 34
David Would love to have a Lum and Abner movie. I listened to them on the radio when I was much younger. I remember I recognized the voice of Mr. Doakes before I even looked at the tv when this episode came on. Their names were Lum Edwards and Abner Peabody and they ran the Jot-'em Down store on radio. Mr. Doakes owned the store in Mayberry. Thanks for the stroll down memory lane once more. Have a great Mayberry day, Margaret from Cookeville AMSOM chapter ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Andy in Paris
Andrew, one reference about Andy having been in Paris while in service is in A FEUD IS A FUED in the first season. He said it while he was trying to get Mr. Wakefield and Mr. Carter to shoot at each other, I believe. There may have been another reference to it in anothe episode, I am not sure. Mayberry is a small town but it must be a good place for doctors or they can't make a living there. Has anyone besides me, noticed how doctors they talk about? We don't see very many but, they sure do talk about them a lot. For instance, they have two Dr. Burnsides. Mrs. Sprague says that Dr. Burnside is as near as the phone when Howard dates Irene Fairchild. Then Opie refers to a dentist by the same name when Andy buys the laundramat, as having said he would need someone to take his practice when he retired. How many doctor names can you remember from Mayberry seen or not seen? Margaret from Cookeville AMSOM Chapter ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Jim Nabors video
Joe - I thank you so very much for sharing that video. It was great to see how well he looks now considering his previous health issues, as well as seeing his home and ranch in Hawaii. I don't think he looks his age for sure. I love his singing voice and can remember the first time he sang on TAGS. I did not believe he was actually singing but still love it. Andy Griffith sure surrounded himself with talented folks and seems to have kept them as friends due to his big heart. I, as a fan, am so glad he found so many for us to enjoy through the years. Thanks, again. Margaret, Cookeville, TN AMSOM a mayberry state of mind ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
tears for TAGS
I always shed tears when Opie gets jealous of Peggy going fishing with he and Andy, hears Peggy and Andy fussing, then has to confess to Andy what he did ' because someday, you may not want me, anymore, Pa'. The look on Opie's face and Andy's explanation gets to me every time. There are others which touch me but not as much as that one.

Thanks, again, Tom
Thanks again, Tom, for sharing the Rest of the Story with us. I had never heard that before and had not even known about it until I read about it here in the Digest. So, that means a big Thank You to Allan, also, for starting the Digest, right? Thank you Allan! Seriously, that was so very good to hear about Andy's background and for Paul Harvey to be the person doing it was super. Allan, I do so enjoy reading the Digest every day. I leave it 'til last so I can give it all my attention and thoroughly enjoy it all. Thank you for each one you put up for us.

Old Time Radio: Lum and Abner
Yes, Neil Bently, I do remember the old radio show 'Lum and Abner' . It was set in Pine Ridge, AR. They ran the Jot'em Down Store, which sold anything you might need and you could charge it all with no doubts you would pay your bill eventually, anyway. Another very dear character was Cedric Weehunt, a very simple, lovable, child-like man who kept Lum and Abner going. So many good programs on the radio and your imagination worked overtime. Don't think Andy and Barney would have worked on radio, tho. What do the rest of you think about that? Love the Digest!

issue 48 - Philomeathian Club
Vern: I don't know what curly bits are but my imagination took off when I read your letter to the Digest, issue 48. I understand Andy to say current events but your way is much funnier, so I had a good laugh and that is good medicine, they say.

TWINS
Just a thought or question - has Ken's wife ever spoken to him? Maybe he wants to hear the sound of her voice for a change. If that is the case, he may have the chance now! And, maybe he won't hear the iron skillet coming - they are very quiet when you use them as a weapon. Best wishes, Ken Margaret from Cookeville I hate it when you get obtuse, Andy ! ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
RE: Hotel guests
Don't recall anyone mentioning Sen. Canfield, Ret., staying there. Isn't he just the cutest man! Wish he hadn't retired, I would like to vote for him 'cause he's from my favorite place - Mayberry! Just want to say a big THANK YOU to the powers that be for the Digest. I enjoy reading it as I learn so much about TAGS (and I thought I knew most of it!) but get lots of laughs at the same time. Thanks to each one for who makes this possible each day. A special thanks to Allan and Jan. Hello to Margaret from Nashville. Have a Mayberry kind of day all.

CJ's question about snails, etc.
No way, CJ, would I eat snails since, like Andy I have stepped on many of them - so, I, too, will pass on those. As for going yick putting worms on the fish hook, I am so bright it would be my finger attached to the hook when I finished so, no, don't want to do that either. Will be glad to see you Sunday night on Life Lessons, however. Do love pizza however, if'n you're buying! MERRY CHRISTMAS to all from Jaysmom2. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
17 years
Dear Allan - HAPPY 17TH ANNIVERSARY! Thanks for hanging in there all these years. I can't imagine many of the problems you have had but, you seem to have handled them all beautifully. Haven't heard of you being involved in a citizen's arrest yet. However, maybe Barney has learned to go by the heart instead of the book. Andy surely taught him well. So glad I recently found this part of Mayberry and all the friends here. Only the grandest folk live in our town. Thanks to each one for all the entertainment. I love it.
