There a several fun Mayberry related things going on this summer and I wanted to let you know about them. You can always go over to iMayberry.com and to the “Event Calendar” to see exactly what’s happening in the coming months, even if you’re listening/watching this episode long after it’s created. I hope you’ll take time to attend a Mayberry event so you can experience the fun that can be had.

SpiritWalker created some more season one trivia for us to enjoy! If you missed last weeks episode, go back and try that trivia, too. I know you’ll enjoy it.

While he was at it, SpiritWalker also put together a new chain of Mayberry connections in this weeks’ Returning to Mayberry segment for us to to enjoy.

We’re starting off this episode with Randy Turner and his “This Weeek in Mayberry History” concluding his report on Hal Smith. He also has a special announcement that you’re going to enjoy hearing.

SpiritWalker couldn’t do a report for us this week so he did the next best things and sent me trivia questions for us. The questions all come from the first 10 episodes of season one of The Andy Griffith Show. They’re a little hard because they are from specific episodes. If you watch the video version of the podcast, you will see screen shots confirming that the answer given is indeed correct for the episode in question.

If you enjoy these, let me know and maybe we can get SpiritWalker to do some more for us.

Actress Maggie Peterson played Charlene Darling on The Andy Griffith Show but she was so much more. We lost her on Sunday May 15, 2022 so please join me in celebrating her life from Greeley to Mayberry.

In trying to come up with the best was to honor Maggie and to help fans learn more about her, I realized that an interview with Maggie recorded in Calhoun, GA at an event called “A Touch of Mayberry” would allow us to hear her tell the story in her own words. The year was 2018 and it was a special evening.

She grew up in Greeley, CO where she and her brother started a band called “The JaDa Quartet.” They played places around Colorado and eventually made it to New York where the band was booked on several television series as musical guests. Andy’s manager, Richard Link, helped the group get the bookings and they were off to a great start. Maggie moved to New York then out to California where she landed the role of Charlene Darling. She had roles in movies, commercials and in guest staring roles in series like “The Odd Couple,” “The Bill Dana Show,” “Gomer Pyle, USMC,” “Green Acers,” and “Mayberry, RFD.”

Listen, or watch, to hear the whole story. I would like to suggest you actually watch the video version of this episode so you can see the images of Maggie presented during the stage show.

This interview was originally aired in two parts on Two Chairs No Waiting number 573 & 574 in March 2020.

In January 2014 I received an e-mail that changed things for me. It was from this weeks guest, Cody Ray DesBiens. At the time he sent the e-mail, he was 19 years old and he said he was a “HUGE Andy Griffith Show fan” who watched episodes every night with his mom. That wasn’t the part that impacted me, though I was glad to hear a fairly young man was a Mayberry fan. What got me was that Cody had been diagnosed with a chronic type of Leukemia in October 2011.

He went through chemo and eventually needed a bone marrow and stem cell transplant. He was in the hospital for a long time and needed something to keep his mind off the pain and sickness. It was then that he came across the YouTube version of this podcast.

The thing that hit me was him saying that Two Chairs No Waiting helped him keep his mind off things. Wow…I was, and am, humbled by that and I’ve been wanting to have him as a quest ever since and FINALLY had a chance just last week.

I know you’re going to enjoy hearing Cody’s story directly from him LIVE from the IHOP.

We’ll hear this weeks installment of “Returning to Mayberry” by SpiritWalker that he’s calling “Chunkin’ Rocks.”
