This is the fifth episode of Two Chairs focusing on the 1998 Mayberry gathering in Kingsport, TN. If you have missed any of the previous episodes you should go back and check them out by using the link in the notes below.
The event was called “I Remember Mayberry” and in this episode we hear from Maggie Peterson. Maggie played “Charlene Darling” on The Andy Griffith Show as well as “Doris” in a color episode.
I want to once again encourage you to watch the video version of this episode because you’ll be able to see Maggie rather thank hear her, only. While you’re watching, be sure to like and subscribe to my YouTube channel.
David “The Mayberry Deputy” Browning was the emcee for the evening and he’ll be introducing Maggie in the first part of the clip.
We’ll try our hand a few trivia questions for some fun.

August 29, 2020 will be the 94th birthday of actress Betty Lynn who played the love of Barney’s life, Thelma Lou. We have several episode of Two Chairs dedicated to Betty but can you really ever talk enough about Thelma Lou? I say no. Especially when it’s her birthday week!
I’ll also give you some information about one of the other wonderful Mayberry ladies, Maggie “Charlene” Peterson that I know you’ll want to hear.

This is the second and final part of a series featuring our Maggie Peterson. Maggie played Charlene Darling but she did so much more. In the last episode we heard about her life before Mayberry and this episode stars off right when her time on The Andy Griffith Show as about to begin.
Maggie grew up in Greeley, CO and moved to New York then out to California where she landed the role of Charlene Darling. She also did roles in movies, commercials and guest staring roles in series like “The Odd Couple,” “The Bill Dana Show,” “Gomer Pyle, USMC,” “Green Acers,” and “Mayberry, RFD.”
As a reminder, Maggie needs the help of fans & friends to pay health related expenses. This is a real opportunity to show Maggie how much she has meant to us all throughout the years by giving her the financial residuals that she has never received from her time on The Andy Griffith Show. You can give by going to http://bit.ly/maggiepeterson which is a shortcut to the GoFundMe.com site for Maggie..

This is the first part of a series featuring our Mayberry friend, Maggie Peterson. Maggie played Charlene Darling but she did so much more. In this episode we hear about her life before Mayberry.
She grew up in Greeley, CO and she and her brother had a band called “The JaDa Quartet.” They played at several places around Colorado and eventually made it to New York where they were booked on several television series as musical guests. Andy’s manager, Richard Link, helped the group get the bookings and life was great. Listen, or watch, to hear the whole story.
She needs our help and what an opportunity we have to show her an example of how much she has meant to us.

We had a great time at the Two Chairs No Waiting Meetup over at the George Lindsey UNA Film Festival this past weekend. Not only did we get to gather as Mayberry fans and visit with each other, we got to see the documentary film by Chris Hudson, The Mayberry Effect. Chris has been working for almost 4 years on this film and he has done the fans of The Andy Griffith Show proud with his efforts
I give you a full report during the show then we hear from Randy Turner followed by a special report on our wonderful Mayberry friend, Maggie Peterson. She needs our help and what an opportunity we have to show her an example of how much she has meant to us.

In the fourth and final installment of Professor Brower’s interview with Rodney and Doug Dillard, Mitch Jayne, Dean Webb, and Maggie Peterson we start off with the divorce proceedings of Charlene Darling and hear from Maggie Peterson. We then move along to hear their thoughts on the music of Mayberry as well as what Mayberry’s spirit really means. This interview was recorded at Neal’s “Professor Brower’s Class” held during Mayberry Days 2004 in Mt. Airy, NC.
I want to thank Neal Brower for allowing me to share this interview series with you here on the podcast and to thank Neil and Pat Coleman for the recorded video of the event.
