My family and I have met most of TAGS cast in person a few times. What stands out is my memory is that everyone of them were so NICE ( and a door prize!), and friendly. Don Knotts was frail but still took the time to pose for a pic with my wife and daughter.
Betty Lynne was about worn out by the time my family and I got to meet her. She had been signing autographs after a show and we were at the end of the line. I figured she would sign and then leave quickly as she was tired. Instead, when she found out my daughter was going to be a teacher, she just talked and talked like we were old friends. I even got a hug from her...glad Don wasn't there to see! Howard Morris ( Earnest T ) was so nice to my son in law.....signed a pic for him and kissed him on the cheek! lol I have met Otis, all the Darlings except Brisco, and Rafe Hollister and they were just as nice. Otis even sent me a letter apologizing for being late sending his autograph! Never got to meet Aunt Bea of course, but do have her autograph, along with the rest. One thing will always stand out in my mind from Mayberry Days in TN. As the cast was boarding the bus to go back to their hotel , all the crowd was gathered around to say bye. When Rodney Darling got close to us, I saw him shaking a man's hand and he said " there's nobody like Mayberry folk." _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
