That's a great story! I remember from his book that he had several brothers - I wonder who is living now? A man I work with went to school (college) with Don, although he said that most of their classes were different. He has a similar 'cut' to him that Don seems to have had - that 'just being ordinary, down to earth' kind of thing.

I just read a post from Ken Anderson?regarding stories about Don Knotts. I?have stories about him but never met him. When?I lived in Morgantown WV in the mid 1980s I?befriended an older man who had grown up with Don.?I was also told that his brother ate breakfast every morning at the dime store on High St. in downtown M'town.??I was told to go in there one morning?and see him. I never did but I think I saw him downtown one day.?The man I saw had eyes just like Don Knotts' - and his eyes were unusual! PS I've picked up several references to?the state of?WV and towns there in?different episodes of the show. ?
