Sure is cold here in Wisconsin and we already have snow on the ground. My squad car has been tucked away safely for the winter at our area Expo Center. Always a sad day when I have to say good bye to it for the winter. We have decided to scale back some of our exploits next summer. Will probably not do the parades in Minnesota and a few distant events as I don't like driving the squad car on the freeways or at night.
Several weeks ago I was the keynote speaker at a district Lions Club convention. Yesterday I received the fee that I will be donating to my hometown library. They included the following note. “Officers just met last weekend and tallied all the survey results and your presentation was at the very top of the EXCELLENT list. Our surveys indicated a few changes we could/should make with the Convention, but not one negative thing was said about your presentation. In fact, many people commented on how entertaining and true to life your presentation was. I, along with many others there, would strongly recommend to other organizations to offer your presentation to their groups.” I thought I would share this with you, not to blow my own horn, but to illustrate how much people in Wisconsin love to hear about Mayberry. On Veterans' Day I called in a local radio talk show and shared my story about how I visit the Veteran's Home here to give my Mayberry presentation. We ran out of time and the host told me to send him information about what I do with the veterans. So I sent him an email telling about my Tribute to the Veterans as part of my Mayberry Presentation. The next day he read the entire email I sent and then the three hosts began a discussion about my antics as the Mayberry Guru and they talked a long time about the wonderful things about The Andy Griffith Show. -- Ken Anderson The Mayberry Guru 2906 May Street Eau Claire, Wisconsin 54701 www.themayberryguru.com www.mayberryreflections.com _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
