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.”

Saturday October 11, 2008 was date the very first episode of the Two Chairs No Waiting was published on the internet. Since that date I, along with guest reporters like Randy Turner, have created 11 days, 3 hours, 12 minutes, and 15 seconds of Two Chairs No Waiting content for Mayberry fans to enjoy. By the way, those are 24 hour days so it’s enough to listen to for week and four days before you have to start over.

We’re going to hear from some of you by voice mail this week and one of those mentions that he recently started listening to the podcast from the beginning and he’s up to the 400’s. Whew….

We’ll also talk about the appearance by Rik Roberts and myself this past weekend on Governor Mike Huckabee’s show on TBN. We were there to spread the work about the Mayberry Man movie and I think we did pretty well. A link to the official YouTube video of our segment will be in the show notes so if you missed it, you can still check it out.

We’ll play a little Mayberry trivia and then head over to hear from Randy.

Mayberry Days 2021 has come and gone but the memories made are still with me.

I’m going to review some of the events that happened during Mayberry Days in an attempt to let you know what happens during the Mayberry Days weekend in Mt. Airy, NC. The video version of the show has photos of the things I’m talking about but I don’t think you’ll feel left out if you just listen to the audio version.

I always wonder about doing these reviews/reports on Mayberry Days but I had more than one person tell me during Mayberry Days that they listened to the podcast to figure out which events they wanted to be sure not to miss. They had gone back to old episodes to do research on events. I hope I didn’t lead anyone astray.

We have a few trivia questions to play and then on to what I’m sure you’re waiting for.

Two Chairs No Waiting began in 2008 and I’ve done three episodes over the years about Myers Lake. Myers Lake is actually located in the Franklin Canyon area of Los Angeles and is located at the purported geographical center of the city of Los Angeles.

Myers Lake is the one place that remains where fans of The Andy Griffith Show can go to walk in the footsteps of Andy and Opie. If you’re ever in the Los Angeles area, you do not want to miss the chance to visit this location. Every episode of The Andy Griffith Show began with Andy and Opie walking along this path with Opie picking up a rock and throwing it into the lake.

This video was shot in September 2021 and I recommend watching the video version of this Two Chairs episode to be able to see the sights where Mayberry history occurred.
