Tribute to Andy in Mount Airy??

Does anyone know of one? I am 3 hours south of there and would love to go for one. I plan to take my wife and my mother there July 20th for the monthly autograph session by Betty Lynn. We did this a few months ago and want to go back. Anyway, I was curious about a tribute but haven't seen anyt

Danny's question

To answer Danny's question, I was able to meet Andy when he was at Disney's studio theme park to be inducted into the TV Hall of Fame. He was gracious but not friendly; his manager kept shooing folks away. I had heard he was not open to visiting and such so I did not press; I merely shook his ha

interviews about Andy locally

Tuesday also was a whirlwind for me. My phone rang off the hook with people asking for interviews or telling me about Andy's passing. I and another member of our Knoxville, Tennessee, "Mayberry" chapter were interviewed on a live local television show at 4:00. You can see our interview at http:

Re: Andy laid to rest

Andy was laid to rest on his farm on Roanoke Island, NC yesterday, but 5 hours after he had passed. This was per his instructions. The funeral home there confirmed it. There was a small service, for family and close friends at about 11:30 am EDT. May all those mourning his passing be comforted f

I've been watching TAGS and Matlock today (July 4th) and thinking about how much we will miss Andy Griffith, but how comforting it is that everyone can mourn together on this day that is marked by family gatherings, parades, and picnics. What a fitting time to remember him...I think I hear a band

Barney's Gun The revolver that Don Knotts used on TAGS was a late 1930's COLT Police Positive in .38 Special caliber. It was a real gun that could fire live ammo, but only blanks were used on TAGS. It was sold at auction about 20 years ago for $9000.oo

Andy

I think we all feel like we have lost a member of our family. I have loved Andy and the show since I was a child. I will always treasure the times I got to see him in person at the statue dedication and at the Andy Griffith Parkway dedication. I hope he knew how much happiness and joy he brought

Andy's final resting place

Andy was buried almost immediately after his death. I'm sure this is what he wanted simply because it is so unusual. Here is the news blurb from CNN. http://www.wibw.com/home/nationalnews/headlines/Andy_Griffith_Buried_Shortly _After_Death_Source_Says_161357685.html -Ray ___

Nice Tribute

I was listening to Mike and Mike this morning on ESPN Radio and had no idea those two were such big fans of Andy Griffith.  For their first tribute they whistled the theme to the show and then later they played the version from the early 60's where Andy sang the lyrics to "The Fishin Hole".  Mik

Andy Griffith Tribute

I don't know what I can say that hasn't already been said...I called him the last of the great TV actors  on one site and really got beaten down. I guess not everyone feels the way I do or my friends here on WBMUTBB. That being said I would like to dedicate this offering to The last of the great

Andy was the star he was the god of Mayberry he was the light behind Mayberry he made Mayberry he has left a big hole in Mayberry and in our hearts and it will never be refilled . Mayberry starts over when you die and Andy is there at the front porch with the Mayberry gang singing and laughin

Andy was at Mayberry Days

We were lucky enough to see Andy speak at Mayberry Days in 2004. That is when TV Land had his statue dedicated. Anybody else there in '04? I was thrilled to see Betty Lynn, Maggie (Charlene) and the Dilliards that day, along with Andy. I think Andy went just that one time, that I know of. T

RE: RIP Andy

I am sadAndy was such a good manand I know Heaven is rejoicing now that he is there. There was a quote in an article today where his wife Cindy said "Andy was a person of incredibly strong Christian faith and was prepared for the day he would be call Home to his Lord. He is the love

Barney's gun

Someone with more knowledge of guns may educate me on this matter, but I'm pretty sure Barney's pistol was a Smith & Wesson .38. It's likely he carried the same prop gun in every episode, but I can't confirm this. In Cyrano Andy, he promises to tell Thelma Lou how to care for a .38 caliber revol

Andy's Passing

I would like to share my feeling of loss with all our other Mayberry family members. Andy certainly was a role model for so many people and the values and insights that he passed on to all of us through his portrayal of Sheriff Andy Taylor will stay with us forever. Growing up without a father aro
