Hi, fellow "Barney Fans"
I have been reading the many notes written to the Digest as well as other
places on the net, in remembrance of Don Knotts. They have all been extremely
complementary and sooooo true. What a legacy for any one man to leave behind
as he departs this earth!
I had one thing to add. (I did mention this when signing the guest book)
When Frank& I were bringing our son and his fiance back from Bob Jones
university several years ago, we decided to visit the Biltmore House. While on
the
lower level of the house (in the pantry I believe) I looked out the window and
on to a sort of patio. There, to my surprise, was Don Knotts and Tim Conway.
They were filming the movie, "The Private Eyes" We were all so thrilled to have
gotten that close to two of our favorite actors even though there was NO WAY
any one was going to get close enough to them to meet or speak to them.
The thing that puzzles me at this time is, in all that I've been reading in
the last few days, I haven't seen any mention of this movie in regard to Don.
I have heard some say it didn't do well at the box office but still it was
one of his credits. My family, by the way, loved it !
Our little granddaughter does cover her eyes when the "Wukalar" (not sure of
that spelling) comes on the scene. LOL Just wondering?????
Also I was remembering, around the time "The Ghost And Mr. Chicken" came
out, our daughter was about to marry Gary, an up to that time confirmed
bachelor. Truly, no one ever expected Gary would ever get married. You may have
gotten ahead of me here, at the time when the groom kisses the bride, someone
yelled "Atta Boy Gary!" (As in "Atta Boy Luther!")
This was all being filmed. The bride and groom have always gotten a kick out
of watching it over again.
What a lot of really good works Don Knotts left us to enjoy !!!!!!!
You All Have A Mayberry Day!
