I did another Mayberry presentation today for 130 Senior Nutrition Volunteers at LaCrosse, WI. They were such a delightful group. We get into some very interesting discussions afterwards. One older gentleman asked me about Opie's mother. When I told her she was only mentioned one time briefly and that it is assumed she died when Opie was very young. He looked at me and said, "Oh, I always thought she ran away with a circus." He was dead serious. I used very good restraint and did not laugh at him. One woman there said her brother-in-law is a big Mayberry fan with an entire room decorated with Mayberry collectibles. She said he has autographs and many valuable items. His name is Glen Sharpe and he lives in Georgia. She thought he might be a member of our growing family here on the Digest. Does that name mean anything to anyone? Also this week, a LT. with our city police department sent me a picture of two officers back in 1965 with their black and white 1965 Ford squad car. He was going to try to send me more if he could find some in their archives. He said they looked just like mine except they had a large siren on the front fender.
