We have some more feedback from listeners like you and one of them inspired the title of this episode. There was a “Johnny Paul” in the episode of The Andy Griffith Show, “Man in a Hurry“, who is with Opie following the church service trading Opie a penny that was run over by a train. That actor is not, or appears not to be, the same actor who played Johnny Paul Jason in later episodes of the show. Who was he?

Also, is it possible that Duncan Phyfe actually is related to Barney Fife because somebody had to spell it right eventually? Chris raises that question and it’s one to ponder.

In episode 655 of Two Chairs No Waiting we celebrated the life of Betty “Thelma Lou” Lynn who we lost on Saturday October 16, 2021. During that episode I asked to hear your memories of Betty and several of you responded.

The memories of Betty her impact on the lives of those around her, including fans of The Andy Griffith Show, are strong enough that folks took time out of their day to either record a voice mail or send in written thoughts. I believe that these memories will continue to have an impact on us all and I know you’re going to enjoy hearing from fellow fans.

It’s the Halloween season and it’s been a tradition for several years to tell a spooky story or two around the campfire.

In the search for a story to tell you that is in the same spooky vein as “The Golden Arm,” I found “Chief Swanee’s Gold” written by Craig Dominey and Lanny Gilbert on “The Moonlit Road” podcast/website. Craig granted me permission to share that story with you and it will be followed by a version of The Golden Arm folktale.

The Golden Arm was most famously told by Mark Twain and also used by him to instruct others in how to tell a story. In 2015, I first presented the Mark Twain version of the story in episode #349. This being the spooky time of the year, I thought it was time to tell another version of the story.

This episode is spooky so be sure to keep those who might not sleep well, like Barney and Gomer, away from this episode I wouldn’t want to have anyone staring darkness trying to spot someone looking for their gold or their golden arm.

On Saturday October 16, 2021 near the mid-night hour Mayberry fans lost the lovely Betty Lynn, our much loved “Thelma Lou.” We’re going to celebrate the amazing life of Betty by talking about her long career in Hollywood and before when she was in the USO.

There are so many memories about Betty and how she impacted the lives of those around her. She had such an impact that she’s even responsible for the creation of the “Mayberry Meet-up” that Two Chairs No Waiting leads each year in Mt. Airy, NC. My trip to go and interview her for the podcast was the generation of the meet-up that has been going strong since 2013. So, Betty was drawing people together even when she didn’t realize she was doing so.

This week’s installment of This Week in Mayberry History by Randy Turner featuring “Betty Lynn.”
