Checkpoint Chickie - in real life! (Joe)
Thank you again Joe for posting a neat TAGS related article. After reading it I wonder if any female will say to a cop at Checkpoint Chickie... " But Barney I'm your mother ". Or I thought we truckers had an understanding ( with the law ) about going up Turner's grade" Thanks again Joe!

Dear Joe, I read the interesting article you sent about the rocks being thrown. Thank you for sharing. I noticed there was nothing said about any witnesses or video recordings. Without such I would assume those rocks need to identified and possibly fingerprinted ! This poor fellow Jones could use the services of attorney Neil Bentley.

Rose Marie and Joe
Regarding Joe's comment about Andy's wife looking like Rose Marie, yes, I notice the resemblance. However, I have always thought the reporter who came to interview Andy for the newspaper at Floyd's Barber Shop, really looked like Rose Marie.

Well, I just took it, and they nailed it - got my age EXACTLY right.

Thank you, Joe, Dewey, and Sande
I came home from a very busy day at the supermarket where I work very tired and longing for an old fashioned trip to a small grocery store. Although I must admit where I work is a very very enjoyable place to work and I do get to to visit with so many great people throughout the day. Well anyway, to make a long story even longer, I got home and turned on the computer and went to WBMUTBB. And what did I find? Three of the most wonderful postings that I had every read. To Sande, Joe, and Dewey, what can I say but thank you from the bottom of my heart. Can you imagine what our lives would be like if all of us on the Digest could live in a community together? What a special place that would be. It would be filled with wonderful people and we would live in harmony ( most of the time) and enjoy the simple things of life. Personally I would like to own the small grocery store on Main Street. Seriously, you folks on the Digest are what makes being a Mayberry fan so great. I often share things from the Digest with friends of mine here in Eau Claire and they are amazed how so many people from different walks in life from all over the country can come together every day and share a common love. -- 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/

But Joe They Did Have a Stunt Double for Post Stroke Floyd
I found it interesting someone questioned if Floyd (Howard McNear) had a double after his stroke. I can site easily one episode (more if i think about it), Goober's Contest comes to mind. Goober had other customers to wait on and Floyd had to move on and if you look closely at the backhead view, of the driver in the convertible ,trust me it isnt Floyd (Howard).And here is an open debatable question for a possible Floyd Double. . In Floyds BarberShoppe , Floyd is talking to Andy outside the barbershoppe , sitting in his car. how interesting that when the conversation ends, the camera pans back to Andy as we hear the sound of Floyd driving off. Either the sound was dubbed in . if not im sure a double was used tho not scene. nice effect too. Just a thought. The search for Mr Schwamps older brother still continues.

Gritton Joe You Offered A Name for the Unknown Man???
I could be wrong but i hope Im not but from the episodes ive seen of this gray hair (did i say hair hair?) short possibly Italian man, and my hunches are usually correct, i think a good name for now to identify him so the TAGS fans will know he is, might be Mr. Schwamps's older brother..Why you ask? Like Mr. Schwamp, he never talks, he's a silent senior citizen resident of our beloved Mayberry. He has the same height and build of his younger brother and like Mr. Schwamp he has no real OverHead . Get my drift? While Im waiting for an answer to my question from yesterday, again, its a classic scene of a disgusted Andy practically pushing Goob out of the courthouse and with stinging bite and sarcasm , he has the final word saying that famous Quote put to humor to a pesty Goober. That line is classic . Its a great way to get rid of someone at a time Andy had better things to do. Bravo Andy Taylor .

Joe Gritton has so much feeling for Mayberry and it's message in our lives. I was so proud to perform the piece that he wrote. I first did it in 2000 at my home church and then last Saturday night in Berea SC at Berea First Baptist Church with their Minister Ronald Vaughan. What a thrill it is to take someone's idea and words and make them come to life. Joe, you are a prince and I am so grateful to have you as a friend and ghost writer. Also, my new friends Tom and Kathy Rusk couldn't have been nicer and some of the photo's from the show are priceless.

Joe Hamilton was a small but vital part of Mayberry, and he deserves to have his own page!

Wallace Ford Burt Mustin Joe Hamilton and More
ill reveal tomorrow the name of the show buisness legend who did a cameo in Casablanca. ONce the name gets out, check out your dvd players some day and freeeze the scene. you tell me what you see. Ill bet my last dollar Warner Bros put him up to it. This is on par with who is Mr/Schawamp? i love a good mystery.but sadly we may never know the answer to both.And maybe thats for the best. Wallace Ford i can tell you was heartbroken Hollywood didnt come knocking to his door like they should had by time he passed on in 1966 espescially after his role in Patch of Blue.1965. ONe of his finest performances was on of all things an episode of one of my favorite tv series Father Knows Best. ITs one of the most fondly remembered episodes of that acclaimed seriee. You hear that Elinor Donahue? from 1954 the Christmas show with Wallace as Nick, mistaken as Santa Claus when the Andersons are stranded up in the woods in a wintry cabin. What a memorable episide. The series famous for its brilliant music ,its score scene for scene that still holds up today. Imagine a comedy series remembered for its musical score. The entire episodes not just the opening credits.ANd look at the TAGS players who guested on that show. Catch Wallace in Freaks 1932 . very talented man. Did i read Gritton Joe asking me if i knew Burt when he had happier times?Of course. In 1970-71 at 88 he was in grand health long before taking ill. BUt he stayed in harness til the very end. I have scores of letters of happier days before illness set in. He didnt become an actor til he was 65 His wife had just died when i came into his life. Old as he was he kept on writing til nearly the end then his niece told me the rest. What a chatterer too. he loved it when people remembered him. ANd he had plenty to say. He told me they retook several times the tomatoe scene in that classic episode with Barney and him and Hal Smith cracking up in between each take. Someone said Joe Hamilton and Murray Hamilton look and sound alike?YOu know the saying. no two people see the same thing. I only speak for myself. No way do they look or sound alike. Outside of same last name i cant see a blessed thing they had in common. Yes there is. THey were superb performers. Murray performed til cancer set in and robbed us of him. JAws was his best remembered role but catch him in that classic episode from Twilight Zone, One For the Angels. The last thing id do is boast about myself but in case, im happy to. Joe mentioned Dick Ryan. I think its safe to say this actor was otherwise so forgotton by 1967 when he did a 5 second scene. it was a godsend. im glad i caught up to him but sad im most likely bthe only fan out there anywhere who picked up on that episode,spotted him and sent off a fan letter. there were literally hundreds and hundreds of character actors ( all died by 2008) back in the 30s and 40s in Dicks heyday. he was one of many reliable standbys. a jack of all trades. this was his livlihood performing as supporting player in films. He was like so many others, type casted which is fine but by the 50s Hollywood was changing. .He wasnt seen as much in films no fault of his own but now in television but never as top rated character-supporting actor.He was a reliable thesbian . But his parts grew much smaller til finally we last see him in such an insignicant scene from Dont Miss a Good Bet..But leave it to Andy Griffith to spot him and others to do a bit part. Its vital. its music to their vears to be wanted.Oh i forgot on Wallace Ford. His line Boy. no not really. his character Roger was bluffing and threatening Andy Taylor looking down to him , belittling this kid. He knows Andys onto him . Liston to the sharp edge of BOY and better yet I just might have a hand in those penunias yet. ANDY with the accent on ANDY shows the powerful scene . TAGS was chartering new waters by 1964 exploring with success new avenues.I want to close this out. Gritton Joe just e mailed me. Finally then Ill shut up.. Im sorry Im too lazy to look this up and the name escapes me but Ken and Joe and masny of you know the name. In 1974 Frances Bavier told me one more performer not a regular from the show that she said was very dear to her. he would sit between takes laugh up a storm tell stories snd jokes and break everybody up. when she told me (She forgot his name) i got her point. his character role was anything but that of a Cut Up.In Barney Holds a Summit. this episode in my opinon only is the best ever post Don Knotts guest episode and a gem all by itself (Look at the power of that dramatic scene of Andy almost screaming his head off at Barney back home handing him the phone) and the splendid actor playing the head of the Russian Delegation (remember him saying PICKLES) he died just a year or so ago i read in one of my movie magazines. Everyone on the set simply adored him FRances told me. He was the opposite of his grim character. Time to close shop. God Bless from Col.Tim and I. Tom Kessel
Thanks, Joe
Thanks for resending Mr. Kessel's post. I was really confused and kept going back to see what I had missed. What I didn't notice is that Number 270 was missing. I was starting to worry about myself getting a bit tetched in the head. Thanks for pointing out the missing digest, Aunt Bee. And thanks again, Joe Gritton, for reposting Mr. Kessel's observations. I'm still fixated on Wallace Ford in Harvey. I haven't had a chance to watch the two shows yet. I'm trying to remember when Harvey was filmed and when Aunt Bee's Romance was filmed to see how old Mr. Ford was in each one. If there was a few years difference, maybe that's why I didn't recognize him. Or maybe I'm just not a trained noticer and should drop out of trained noticing school. Mr. Kessel's account of Burt Mustin being so grateful for being remembered and so anxious to not be forgotten brought tears to my eyes. Thank you, Mr. Kessel, for giving us a glimpse of the real personalities behind the characters we loved. I am in awe of you for your tireless work at getting to know these people and for your wonderful memory so you can recount your experiences to us. Because of this, you'll never be forgotten either.

I am very much aware of Joe Hamilton because every time I see him I get reminded of one of my favorite supporting actors, Murray Hamilton (the mayor in Jaws and Anne Bancroft's husband in The Graduate.

Here is--the message from Joe Hamilton relative--February 2006
I would like to pass along my own personal remembrance of Don Knotts. I talked with him only once, at a large gathering in Nashville several years ago, but I could sense that he was a kind and surprisingly shy man. I told him that my great uncle was the late Joseph Hamilton, who portrayed a very visible Mayberry loafer in many early TAGS episodes (³Get a horse, Barney!²). As I tried to explain this to him, an insistent event handler was hurrying us fans through the receiving line, but Don simply ignored him, taking the time to assure me that he well remembered Uncle Joe and even asking me how we were related Joe was married to my grandmother¹s sister. Don Knotts sure didn¹t have to go to all this trouble, and yet he was more than willing to make a fan happy. Richard Veit Are you still out there Richard???

his name is Joe Hamilton, the aging white haired Mayberry resident often scene in many black white episodes. Tom, Joe Hamilton was great in his scenes, a very memorable character! As I recall, someone either wrote in to the digest or contacted someone on the digest who was a relative of Joe Hamilton, but I can't remember what was said by this person. Does anyone else remember what I'm talking about? I'm sure Tom would like to hear about that. Thelma Lou (Janet) ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
RE: thanks Joe and Janet and Robert ...
... Alan Hale...appreciated it when people complimented him on other roles be it stage film or tv than just the obvious such as Gilligans Island... -- Tom, much thanks for the first-hand insights. One of my favorite Alan Hale roles was in Thunder in Carolina which had to do with early NASCAR/stock car racing. As a Carolina boy myself, I appreciate that ol' Jeff Pruitt had some of the same ties. I always wondered if they couldn't have made that car go even faster with Goober's help.

Answering Joe (Gritton)
Greetings all, I claim to be Florida's most avid Andy Griffith Show fan because of my car tag, JL-327, but here is something I must have missed. JOE GRITTON wrote - Its just one of those inconsistencies like ... Gomer knowing nothing about cars, and then being a genius mechanic. Crazy me, I don't remember that! I thought Gomer always referred to his cousin Goober as the genius mechanic, putting a car engine on a boat (that's fast on water), not knowing anything but gas oil, and Gomer was the go-between with Malcolm Tucker in Man In A Hurry. Of course Goober WAS the car genius. My favorite Goober episode is #144, Goober Takes a Car Apart. Floyd is perfect (I heard it then, it sounded like a sneeze) and Goober's Cha-Wheat Pucka Pucka like ole' banney rooster get me every time! I always wondered if Gilley Walker learned to drive so fast from running from the Germans on Hogan's Heroes? When did Gomer know cars? I am not being obtuse or fa-sish-us, just forgot the episode(s) when he did.

For Joe Gritton - The Vacant Chair
Hey Joe, I found this for ya... Sam / Knoxville, Tennessee THE VACANT CHAIR Words by H.S. Washburn Music by George F. Root (1820-1895) We shall meet but we shall miss him. There will be one vacant chair. We shall linger to caress him While we breathe our ev'ning prayer. When one year ago we gathered, Joy was in his mild blue eye. Now the golden cord is severed, And our hopes in ruin lie. CHORUS: We shall meet, but we shall miss him. There will be one vacant chair. We shall linger to caress him While we breathe our ev'ning prayer. At our fireside, sad and lonely, Often will the bosom swell At remembrance of the story How our noble Willie fell. How he strove to bear the banner Thro' the thickest of the fight And uphold our country's honor In the strength of manhood's might. CHORUS True, they tell us wreaths of glory Evermore will deck his brow, But this soothes the anguish only, Sweeping o'er our heartstrings now. Sleep today, O early fallen, In thy green and narrow bed. Dirges from the pine and cypress Mingle with the tears we shed.
