June 16, 2009 - Msg 4936: my husband and I made it back to Mt. Airy a couple of weeks ago and it was a bittersweet trip-- we saw "the old salt-and-pepper" on display at the museum and were both reduced to tears. The chair Don sat in at the courthouse was there too, bronzed and had the signatures of many, many of the cast and crew on the back. We've watched TAGS every day since we returned. There's nothing like this show, the people who were in it or the people who love it. Don Knotts and Barney have certainly left their mark on the world.
June 17, 2009 - Msg 4937: I agree, there is no place like Mayberry.
June 24, 2009 - Msg 4938: I have never grieved so much for a person I have never met.Don Knotts brought joy and life into my home.He will never be forgotten.May I quote Barney Fife one last time "over and out Don."

July 08, 2009 - Msg 4940: I am so glad I have Don knotts in movies and on my telivision so he can live forever in my heart.
July 15, 2009 - Msg 4941: I was just watching the andy griffith show and it hit me of how much he will be missed.I was able to watch him without wondering if my kids should leave the room or fast forward the DVD afraid that there might be a bad scene or something.We can just sit there and laugh. Thank you Don Knotts.
July 17, 2009 - Msg 4942: As a teacher, I often brought in episodes of TAGS to class to teach values and morals to the children. They watched "Man in a Hurry" and taught then that money isn't everything and the episode where Opie has to raise baby birds when he accidentally kills the mother bird. And, yes, some of the Grade 8's did cry!!

Barney Fife: "Nip it in the bud! You got to nip it in the bud! ... Nip it! You go read any book you want on the subject of child discipline, and you'll find that every one of 'em is in favor of bud-nippin'... Only one way to take care of it."
