Our life here in Eau Claire, WI, continues to follow the stay at home recommendations and social distancing. So, it has been a very quiet summer thus far with no parades or car shows at all. There are a few being held, but being my age, I am not taking any chances, so we are passing them up. I miss seeing all our car show friends and we really miss the fun of parades, but one must do what one must do. I am happy to announce that our city of Eau Claire has just been named the 3rd best small city in America in which to live. I can certainly attest to that. I have only put 10 miles on the squad car thus far this summer and even less with our convertible. I had a new stereo put in the squad car as well as a nice fan system to keep us cool, but now I don't use either. But hopefully, by fall, we will be able to do a few things safely. I do continue to write my monthly column for seven publications around Wisconsin, and I try to write about Mayberry and TAGS every other month. It gives me something to do and I get a lot of nice feedback. I hope everyone is staying safe. Fortunately nothing ever changes in Mayberry and we can continue to visit our friends there whenever we choose.

Yes, David Burch, it was nice to meet you and your wife at the Comic-Con event. I wish we would have had more time to visit. Over the years I have been able to meet quite a few of the Digest members as they travel through Wisconsin. Some were able to come to our house for a nice visit and others were able to meet for lunch. So if any others every come near Eau Claire, WI, please let me know. Next Sunday we will be taking part at the Warrens Wisconsin Cranberry Festival. Tens of thousands of people come to the little village of about 350 for the two-day event. We will once again be participating in their parade and also interacting with visitors for several hours before the parade.

First, it's great to get the Digest every day again (thanks, Allan) - and it's great to see everybody is well and contributing interesting facts, questions, and TAGS tidbits. I never noticed the top file drawer thing before, and, as a native New Yorker, never noticed Aunt Bee's "bad" southern accent in the early episodes - interesting stuff. These are the kinds of things that make the Digest fun to read. I also never heard of a "County Mayor" - I learn something new every day! Here is an interesting bit of TAGS-related trivia that may be well known, but at least not by me. As a "baby boomer" who grew up with the soundtrack of 60's music, I saw this on a MeTV trivia quiz a couple weeks ago and thought it was pretty cool: two very popular albums of the time (Simon & Garfunkel's "Sounds of Silence", and the Rolling Stones' "High Tide and Green Grass") both had their cover photos shot at none other that Myers Lake (a/k/a Upper Franklin Reservoir) - as Andy would say: "Well, whaddya know about that"!

( This ) I did our 59th summer event at a Sturgeon Festival parade today and had a great time. A little boy joined me at my table while I was eating and he talked up a storm telling me how he wanted to be a policeman some day. He was 7 years old. I showed him my handcuffs and talked about the police and then told him that I had been a teacher and we talked about school. Then his mother took some pictures and said he had to go. He gave me a hug and said, "I wish you were my dad." Must be a dad missing in his life. How sad. ( That ) Now for a funny bit. I was watching a Mayberry RFD episode and Sam Jones came into Emmett's fix it shop. He handed Emmett his appliance and said, "It quit popping". Well, I could tell from where I was sitting what was wrong with it. It was a toaster. It's not suppose to do any popping. -- 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.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

HI Gang, First on the middle name subject, Paul said: "Dudley J Wash ? I don't recall any middle initial ever given for Dud" While reading this I had the episode on TVland during their marathon and they are showing the "The Darlings are Coming" when Briscoe first tells Andy why they are in town, to meet Charlene's beloved Private First Class Dudley A. Walsh coming in on the bus. I rewoud the DVR to listen to it again to confirm it, so his middle initial IS mentioned and it is A not J. Also to answer Ken about the PA system, try using bigger wires.

Dud tells Mr. Darling that he went looking for Ernest T., but talked to his cousin (whom we never see) because he couldn't find him. This cousin could have written the note that accompanied the rock. There's no proof that Ernest T. wrote the note himself. Floyd's is definitely open on Mondays. Barney is in the habit of getting his hair cut every third Monday. Many years ago, a Mayberry Days trivia question was "when does Barney usually get his hair cut?" and the answer given was "the third. Monday of every month." WRONG! Every third Monday is not the same thing as the third Monday of every month. Now, regarding a color episode being shown in black and white. Stations have been known to do this for decades, because they have long known that the black and white episodes are more popular, and that some viewers will immediately change channels the instant they see a color episode of TAGS. We used to have a member here (Craig N., I think his name was) who was an employee of WGN in Chicago, and he confirmed this.

I am so glad to see many back on the newsletter. I always look forward to it everyday. I am also very glad to see our family newsletter make it to year 20. Even more so that Lloyd Nolan has made it to 97. I remember a few days ago we were discussing the bookcase in the sheriff's office getting the glass broken. It had three shelves. I remember theglas getting broken on various occassions. Once with a sling shot, once with Barney shooting , i think, and Virgil. Those come to mind. There are more i am sure. I know at the end of the series there was no glass on the bookcase. Also, why on earth has there not been Mayberry RFD on dvd? It would be so great to have that in my collection. It is similiar with Rifleman. While there are collections out, no dvd by season, yet. Hope Summers was an alumni of Rifleman, leaving to go to the Andy Griffith Show. Next saturday is Quilt Days at Ramsey House in knoxville. I will be giving tours of the house and beautiful quilts will be on display. While it's not andy it's still neat to visit.

1. Was Thelma Lou's last name ever mentioned on the show? Sure it was Jerry. Thelma Lou's last name was Whitfield. And her husband's name was Gerald Whitfield. 2. Warm and fuzzy moments on Andy. This is probably the easiest question ever. The whole show was nothing but warm and fuzzy moments. That is why everyone loves TAGS. From the very first show when Opie won't let Aunt Bea leave because he does not know who will take care of her, to the very last show when the whole town turns out to sing the Italian national anthem, there was noting but scores and scores of warm and fuzzy moments. 3. I was watching the episode "Opie's Newspaper" today when everyone was out in Andy's garage. There was an automobile tire standing against the wall of Andy's garage. Where did that tire come from? Andy did not own a car at that time. It was a few years before Aunt Bea bought her car. And it could not have come from the squad car. A tire from the squad car would be government property, and Andy would be breaking the law by keeping it in his garage. I worked for the federal government for 25 years, and I know how they feel about taking government property home and storing it in your garage. Orville Hendricks - Selling Butter and Eggs.

Edgar Buchanan was Mr. Wheeler, who also played on Leave it To Beaver. Speaking of Taters, my house in Utah still has the outside root cellar. This was is an old ice box, with the door, that opens from both sides, so no one gets stuck. The woman who owned my house, Elva, was a sweet lady, who at 94 could still climb in to the attic on a ladder. Guitars: I know Andy played a pickguardless guitar, refinished for the show, that's reproduction a few year ago by Martin Guitar Company, sold for over 5,000 dollars. Beautiful. But, on occassion, I have seen another guitar on the show with a pick guard. Anybody have any info or "idees"?

Dear Townsfolk, Enough is enough! I want the truth , even though I can't handle it. What's the skinny on Opie's mother? My theories are she died in childbirth or was killed by a vengeful criminal. I was disappointed that Ellie, Sam, and Warren didn't "Return to Mayberry". I was glad that Barney and Warren met on one episode. Does anyone agree that the black and white episodes are funnier than the color ones? Probably because of the absence of Knotts. Speaking of Barney, I don't think he met Howard, unless they interacted on "Return to Mayberry". All of Andy's old girlfriends should meet up like all those prospects did when Barney tried to find Andy a new wife. If I was a Mayberry outlaw, the cops I would hate would be Capt. Barker, Sheriff Mitchell, and possibly Capt. Dewhurst. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

Dear Friends - I have a few odds and ends to share w/ everyone... First, Happy Thanksgiving to all in Mayberry!! I wanted to tell everyone that I have been on a little vaca w/ a friend of mine. We went to the Outer Banks of North Carolina and visited a few sites there. Of course, both of us being TAGS fans, we went to Manteo to look around and we visited the theater where they perform the Lost Colony play each summer. This is where our own beloved Andy got his professional acting start (according to the theater and internet stories)! It is also close to where Andy lives currently. It was an awesome trip and we had a great time. It is a lovely area and I can see why Andy would fall in love w/ the area and want to live there! We also went to the Wright Bros. memorial in Kill Devil Hills, Bodie's Island (pronounced body's, not bow-dees) and Currituck lighthouses, NC Aquarium on Roanoke Island, and the Elizabethan Gardens (also on Roanoke Island). I highly recommend a stay in the Outer Banks area - there are many fun things to do - if you go during the season (late spring/summer/early fall) you can also go on a dolphin watch and go to see the wild horses. HEY, there's also a YMCA nearby, but we splurged and stayed in a hotel instead of getting the corner room at the Y. ; ) I missed out on answering the questions before, so I will answer them now... As to which character I would be, I think that's a hard one, but maybe Miss Ellie, except I wouldn't disappear from Mayberry - I would stay and enjoy life in that small but wonderful town! And what crime would I do that would get me an arrest? H - another difficult one - I would probably get in trouble for jaywalking (or maybe playing bingo). I doubt I would get in trouble for partaking in Col. Harvey's elixir, but you never really know, do you??? ; ) OK - that's it for now...I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving - we're having our official family dinner tomorrow, so I'm still looking forward to our dinner, but today was a nice day and I hope all my Mayberry friends had a great day, too!

On TAGS, I think the writers used overalls as a shortcut to say to the viewers "Hey everyone, this person is a farmer". When you only have 30 minutes, you have to learn to do shortcuts. Kinda like when someone comes out on the stage with floppy shoes, and a big red nose, we know immediately that person is supposed to be a clown or a funny person. On the subject of making money, down here in middle America during the 50's and 60's, a kid could make all the money he wanted to make. He could make as much as a grown man all summer long. There were great number of crops needing to be harvested. With so many crops, the farmers were not picky about the age of the workers as long as the boy was big and strong. I started at the age of 12 making a man's wage ($1.00 an hour). There was cotton to be hoed, hay to be hauled, broomcorn to be cut, cotton to be picked, pecans to be gathered. Many times, children were taken out of school to work in the harvest. And don't worry about children getting independently wealthy, because their parents took 95% or more of their wages. Different reasons were given for the confiscation (buying school clothes, saving for college, etc), but the results were the same, children were not allowed to have large sums of money. Sadly, now a days machines do all of the harvesting and children are deprived of the joy of working and learning the value of a dollar. Some of my happiest days on earth were spent in the harvest fields with my friends. Orville Hendricks - The butter and egg man.

Also I have written a letter to Joel Redlin's wife. Joel played Ferdie in the color episode where Aunt Bee and Clara wrote the song about Mayberry.

I want to be the first to say Happy Birthday Andy Samuel Taylor on Tuesday 1 June. Number 84 and you still look great. Now this: Barney told a female from out of town that he had a few nicknames he had not been able to shake, like Fast Gun Fife. Then Barney told Hubcaps Leash that Barney was just a "nick" for Barnard. I was watching TVLand this weekend, and in The Fun Girls Daphne calls Andy "Doll". Then in the episode "Andy Saves Gomer's Life", Gomer calls Andy "Mr. Life Saver Man". I can also remember the first time Bobby Fleet met Andy he called Andy "Hiram".

I think the episode Prisoner of Love only had seven characters if I remember correctly. Andy, Barney, Aunt Bee, Otis, the prisoner, and the two guards who brought her in. And the entire episode was in the courthouse except for a short scene on the porch when Andy went home. Our pastor this morning told about how she worked in a shelter in Washington DC for abused women. She told how another worker there and former victim named Sally decided to put together boxes of nice perfumes, hand creams, and other special female doodads ( my words, not hers) and they were given to the women when they came to the shelter. She believed it would help the women regain their self esteem because all people need nice things to help them feel better about themselves.

Selfish Giraffes, A Calendar For Celebratin', and a little of this and that
Hello Mayberrians.been a while since I contributed to your well being. Read with interest every day but have less time than ever it seems to compose a thought or two. But since my signature has been "Boy Giraffes Are Selfish." I couldn't hold back. I don't want to be negative Allan, but having the DVDs shows the network is a real clip joint! But its not just the cable network. We're lucky to have our local CBS affiliate run TAGS every morning (M-F) at 5:00am, (a great way to start the day), but alas they don't show the epiloge and there a few other clips taken here and there from those shows too. Boy Those TV Guys are Selfish!! On a happier note, like a number of you, I have a copy of the 2008 TAGS calendar. There sure are a lot of holidays noted on there. Take a look. Its an amazing array of special days noted. I wonder if the Morrison Sisters had a hand in that. Sure would sell a lot of their special recipie..not for drinkin'...just for celebratin'! Over the New Years Holidays I watched a marathon of The Honeymooners on CW11 WPIX in New York. (I get it way out here in Nebraska on my Dish TV), but anyway, a couple of people most TAGS fans would recognize showed up. The man who played Roger Cortney on the Esquire Club episode, and the man who was the photographer from "Intercontinental News" ---Joe Layton? (something like that) from the Crime Free Mayberry episode. Anyway, those two appeared a time or two in the Honeymooners. (a bit younger I might add). The funny thing to me was the Roger character appeared in an episode also centered around the lodge that Ralph Cramden belonged to.the Racoon Club. I think it was called. I had a good many laughs. And one more note, we have a new boss where I work and he wanted to make better use of the bulletin board in the break room for official staff notices. It had become cluttered with jokes, cartoons, thank you cards, and coupons from the Sunday paper. I couldn't help but think about "The New Deputy Episode" and official verifications and all. I had to explain all about "who's been messin' up the bulletin board". We had a good laugh. He's more of a Simpsons man than TAGS, but I'll have him converted before long.

Greetings From the Dime Store, First to my friend John Masters, may I ask if you specifically have a special piece that you ordered all the way from New York City for me and the girls to sing? Not that me and Lydia and Viola Slatt are particularly good singers, but we'll give it all we got. You know we will. Between Barney and the Untrained Voice, Mrs. Poltice's time is all taken up, but maybe Hazel could work us in for a couple of practice sessions. Now, Dixon, about those family pictures. I meant on a regular basis that family pictures were not shown on the walls or featured in any kind of prominent place where viewers could easily see them each week. Yeah, for a special show, every now and then, a series might pull out a photograph. But it's not the usual thing. Not then and not now. The only exception that I recall is that show which starred the Olsen twins (and for the life of me I cannot think of its title just now) but I do remember seeing photographs of the kids on the mantle or somewhere else in the living room. But the last show of "Leave It To Beaver" was entitled, "The Family Album" and it gave the series a chance to feature a flash-back. Anyway, Thanksgiving is almost here and if I don't have a chance to tell you all, I've been here for a number of years. I love you all and I thank Allan for the good work he does in keeping us all together. You all have a safe and joyous holiday with your real family and our family here in Mayberry, which is almost just as precious to me, will be here for us, as always.

Re: this and that
You know, I started being the Flora tribute artist only so I could hang out with my brother who does "Wally." But as I watched the Flora episodes so I could get out outfit right, I noticed some things about her that I have to admire. She was an old-fashioned girl caught in the women's movement of the 60's. Of course, this is not done heavy-handed in Mayberry. We just see her being one of few women who wore slacks, and she takes a job traditionally associated with men at the gas station. I have to admire that. But she does it to help Goober. And when she succeeds at the job to the point Goober might loose his job, she steps down when Andy helps her see what is happening. I have to admire that too. There is an innocent sweetness as well as a desire to to things right that make Flora a character I would aspire to be more like. Like Jenny said, there is a lot to admire in almost all the characters. I just wanted to put in a good word for Flora.

About Lori Heine's question... Does anybody else have something about a TAGS character that especially helps inspire them to be a better person? Other than the obvious fact that EVERY character has some wonderful trait that I'd love to have... I think the main thing that really inspires me is the "feel" of Mayberry.

That's the thing that I love about Mayberry... the slow pace, the feel of the town, the honesty... it's all very inspiring! I do try to be a very honest and nothing-to-hide type of person, like Andy. There are so many characteristics about him, and about the others on the show, that I couldn't even begin to list! But, I think his honesty and level-headed way of dealing with people is admirable. ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
