I understand Andy conjured most of the names of locals from his childhood in NC. Not sure where Crumpacker came from, but my maternal grandmother was a Crumpecker. She was from central WV. It was an Americanized version of the German surname Grumbacher.
Ben in Roanoke, VA **************** Hello, Fellow Mayberrians, What's in a name? Would anyone know the origin of some of the more interesting surnames on TAGS? I harken back to Crumpacker, for instance, as a decidedly peculiar one. I've read that Andy Griffith often times used names of personal friends as character names on the show. Would anyone know more about this? Linda _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list [email protected] http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
