Although Opie's friend looks a lot like Larry Mondello (same build, hair, ball
cap, clothes) it couldn't have been Rusty Stevens as Opie's friend. Larry
Mondello was approximately the same age as Jerry Mathers (born in 1948). Ron
Howard was born in 1953. Opie's friend was not 14 years old in that episode; he
was about 9, the same age as Ron Howard.
