I have been in touch with jim clark regarding mr. Schwump. He has given us the
go ahead. He feels that if we never find out who he was, what a salute to his
name that our search will bring.
I have several leads and am working on that right now. So, I will keep hunting
and keep you updated
Do you think that in the movie where the man in front of Andy and Opie was
susposed to be portrayed
as Mr Schwump! I agree with Aunt Bee from FL that it is not him. Sure looks
as if they wanted the viewers
to think it was him.

I'm not being ornery but I vote that the gentlemen pictured from Return to

face shape does not match and his hair looks natural. Poor Mr. Schwump, lost
into obscurity!
