Otis Campbell tribute artist Kenneth Junkin and I were blessed to be able make a trip from our Alabama home up to Mount Airy, NC to celebrate the 90th birthday of Russell Hiatt. Russell is the owner and proprietor of Floyd’s City Barber Shop right there on Main Street in Mount Airy and is a man who holds the spirit of Mayberry in his heart.
Russell was born January 28, 1924 and is the second oldest active barber in the United States. The occasion of his 90th birthday brought fan and friends to a snowy Mount Airy from all over the southeast. His barber shop was packed with people as they came to wish Russell happiness on a day declared Russell Hiatt Day by the city of Mount Airy and Mayor Deborah Cochran.
“Awh…big ain’t the word for it.”

The January 2014 issue of The eBullet, the OFFICIAL newsletter of The Andy Griffith Show Rerun Watchers Club (TAGSRWC), has just been released and the information contained within is something you don’t want to miss. I’d like to thank Jim Clark, the “Presiding Goober” of TAGSRWC, for allowing Two Chairs No Waiting to use some of the content from The eBullet here on the podcast. Jim works throughout the year to find Mayberry information for the fans and I am very thankful for being allowed to help spread the news he delivers.
Be sure to check out the latest issue of The eBullet and read all the information for yourself. You can also go back over 10 years to see past issues of The eBullet…for FREE! That’s right! Jim provides all this amazing information for free to all the fans of The Andy Griffith Show out there so be sure to subscribe to the newsletter so you never miss an issue.
Also, shop at Weaver’s Department Store and support TAGSRWC in the process.
We also hear from Larry by voice mail discussing Opie’s ability to curve a rock from right to left so well at such a young age. He might give Ernest T. a run for best rock thrower in the county.

I was looking through the archives here at the Two Chairs No Waiting headquarters and found my back issues of The Bullet. The Bullet was the official newsletter of The Andy Griffith Show Rerun Watchers Club (TAGSRWC) for years until it moved to an electronic version (The eBullet) back in the early 2000’s.
I thought it would be great to share the very first issue of The Bullet with you and give you a feel for where TAGSRWC began. We have so much to be thankful to TAGSRWC for because without the club I truly believe we would not have the podcast, websites, events, and products related to The Andy Griffith Show that we have today. Thank you, Jim Clark and all the founders of TAGSRWC for keeping Mayberry alive.
George Jr. was on an episode of “Shop ’til You Drop” that aired on the Game Show Network in December where he won a trip to the Bahamas. The fun thing was, I had to come home early one day from work and what just happened to be on the TV…this very episode of “Shop ’til You Drop!”

Ref: Two Chairs No Waiting 251: Betty Lynn Interview Part 2
I really enjoy these interviews as well as all of the Podcasts! Thank you for doing them and sharing with us. These are real treasures that we could get no where else! Just for fun I looked up Betty’s credits on IMDB and it shows all of the productions that she was in including the 26 episodes of TAGS.

Two Chairs listener Janet has these as her top 5 episodes of all time (okay…she listed several series of episodes but who’s counting):
