**** News of Cast & Crew ****

Ron Howard has been spending a lot of time in Europe in recent weeks (and months) as he prepares to start filming Inferno (starring Tom Hanks and Felicity Jones) at several locations on the continent in April.  The release date for the film is October 2016.

Ron also is very involved again this year with Canon’s Project Imagination, which this time around is encouraging people to make a movie trailer from their own videos and photos. The winning entry will get to have a short film made based on the trailer.  For info, visit www.imagination.usa.canon.com.

The first day of spring found Betty Lynn  at her monthly meet-and-greet at the Andy Griffith Museum in Mount Airy.  As always, there was a strong turnout of fans who were thrilled to have a chance to have a visit with Betty and to get an autographed photo and their picture taken with her.

A specific site has been selected for the Don Knotts statue in his hometown of Morgantown, W.V. Fundraising for the statue has met its goal (thanks in part to generous donations from TAGSRWC members).  Additional donations received will go toward upkeep of the statue and the surrounding grounds.  Current plans are for a festival and unveiling in the summer of 2016. (There will also be preliminary festivities this July, including Karen Knotts performing her one-woman show in Morgantown.  See Floyd’s bulletin board above.)

The 18th Annual George Lindsey UNA Film Festival was another big success in early March. Despite being held on the heels of one of the big snow/ice storms that hit the region, the festival on the campus of the University of North Alabama (George’s alma mater) in Florence drew good crowds, had several interesting panel discussions (including the keynote panel on music and film with some of Hollywood’s top music supervisors) and selected 30 independent films to show out of the almost 3,000 that were submitted.

Elinor Donahue participated in a TAGS promo for MeTV that’s currently in rotation on the channel and can also be viewed online at www.metvnetwork.com/videos.  There’s also a bunch of other creative and fun promos for TAGS and other TV shows on the MeTV site.

James Best (Jim Lindsey) has been doing some leisure traveling this month before getting into full swing with his schedule of appearances and performances.  And he continues to create beautiful paintings.  Keep up with James and his art at www.jamesbest.com.

Margaret Kerry (Bess Muggins and Helen Scobey) expects her much anticipated autobiography will be available in May. It should be fascinating, just like her life!

**** Chapter Update ****

No new chapters have launched since our report in the last eBullet, so we’re holding at 1,428 chapters that have been founded since TAGSRWC started in 1979.  The big questions of the moment is, Where will the first new chapter of 2015 be located and What name will the founders come up with?

Starting a chapter of TAGSRWC is really easy to do.  Just pick a name that hasn’t already been chosen (that’s really the challenging part!), and submit it with a list of your founding members by e-mail (to Goober@imayberry.com) or by U.S. Mail to TAGSRWC’s HQ (118 16th Avenue South, PMB 146, Nashville, TN  37203-3100).  There’s a searchable list of chapter names that are already taken at www.tagsrwc.com.

Whether or not you start or join a local chapter, you can always join our online “Who’s Been Messin’ Up the Bulletin Board?” chapter. (It’s really quick and easy to do. Info is at tagsrwc.com.)

All four of the new designs are just $20, as are most of our T-shirts.  (A few designs are $18, and the Lawmen all-over design is $25.)  We also have sweatshirts and hoodies in two designs, as well as caps, Goober beanies, deputy patches and even a bandana.

2015 TAGS Wall Calendar Is Back in Stock!

We had sold out of this 2015 edition the week before Christmas, but we fortunately located a few more of this scarce calendar. The calendar’s now back in stock in our store, and we’re shipping again…for as long as our re-supply lasts.  And best of all it’s now 20% off the original price!

.

You’ll find these items and much more, including books, CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays, rare collectibles, tin signs, a Barney thermometer, board games, blankets, items for vehicles, etc., all online at www.weaversdepartmentstore.com.  (Or just go to www.imayberry.com and click on one of the  orange and blue Weaver’s buttons at the top.)

**** Chapter News ****

Mayberry Good Government League (Virginia Beach, Va.), one of our earliest chapters, checked in  after our last issue to report that they’re still active and enjoying watching TAGS every night on MeTV.  Now, that’s good government!

“Damp Under There…Could Be Spiders” (Papillion, Nebr.) wrote to say hey.  That’s all.  They didn’t have any tales to spin about a “Spider Bite!”  But then again, that would be a different chapter (Thomasville, Ga.)  Meanwhile, there’s no recent word from Glencoe, Ala., which is surprising because “If I Was a Spider, That’s Where I’d Go.”  But enough stalling, “Gomer, Get Down There with Them Spiders!”  (Winston-Salem, N.C.).

Barney chapter (Greensboro, N.C.) has started 2015 with its usual schedule of regular monthly meetings.  Chapter leader Neal Brower will also be resuming his monthly lectures at the Andy Griffith Museum in June (see Floyd’s bulletin board for the schedule).

Ditto on the regular monthly meetings by Mayberry chapter (Knoxville, Tenn.).

Several chapters have dropped by our Nashville HQ amid the various winter storms.  Remembering Mayberry (Chillicothe, Ohio) was heading south when they came through town.  Mother Figure (Huntsville, Ala.) arrived with an empty Stevens truck, but left loaded up with Bert Miller’s stand. And Mavis Neff (Durham, N.C.) visited for a couple days while doing some library research.  (We have to admit that Mavis Neff doing actual reading in a library is hard to imagine.)

Chapter Flashback

We were recently looking through some of our old files and found this interesting chapter report.  We thought it would be fun to share it again.  Yes, that’s right–a rerun…from 23 years ago!

If your chapter has news or photos to share, you can write to us the old-fashioned way at TAGSRWC HQ, 118 16th Avenue South, PMB 146, Nashville TN  37203-3100, or by e-mail to Goober@imayberry.com.

In the meantime, we’ll get back  to rummaging around in our archives.  There’s no telling what other gems we might dig up down there among Mrs. Mendelbright’s mushrooms and that old tire-shredder!

**** Mayberry on the Web ****

The iMayberry Community
This TAGSRWC online group is organized and overseen by webmaster Allan “Floyd” Newsome with able assistance from Keith “Col. Harvey” Brown. You can check it out and sign up for free at: http://imayberrycommunity.com.

The iMayberry Community complements our other online activities, including our main www.imayberry.com page, podcasts, Facebook page, online newsletters (such as The eBullet!), weaversdepartmentstore.com and chat rooms.

Two Chairs, No Waiting is our weekly podcast of TAGS news, interviews and pretty much whatever happens to be going on in and around Mayberry. It’s hosted by Allan Newsome. There’s a new episode every Tuesday (and you can watch and listen live during tapings on Monday evenings). Past episodes are in an online Archives in case you want to listen to or view episodes you’ve missed.

There have been an amazing 323 episodes since Allan started the podcasts in 2008.  Allan received “extry good” feedback about his masterfully edited recent four-part series of podcasts featuring Neal Brower’s outstanding 2004 Mayberry Days interview with Maggie Peterson, Doug Dillard, Rodney, Dillard, Mitch Jayne and Dean Webb.

There’s a lot of info and discussions that you simply won’t find anywhere else, including rare interviews (vintage and new) with cast and crew members of TAGS. If you’ve got sound on your computer or have an iPod or similar device, you can easily tune in live or download these podcasts.  And you’ll also find links there to a couple of other outstanding Mayberry-related podcasts.

TAGSRWC’s official page on Facebook now has more than 126,000 friends! You can find us at www.facebook.com/tagsrwc. If you haven’t already dropped by the page, we hope you’ll check it out sometime when you have the chance. We invite you to become a TAGSRWC Facebook Friend!

   **** Post Note ****

If you ever miss receiving an issue of The eBullet, you can always catch up by reading it in the eBullet Archives in the Newsletters section at imayberry.com. Each issue is usually placed in the Archives at about the same time that it’s distributed to subscribers.

Between issues of The eBullet, keep up with all the happenings in Mayberry with the daily Who’s Been Messin’ Up the Bulletin Board? (aka “WBMUTBB?”) Digest. It’s a free subscriber list that consists entirely of comments, newsflashes, and questions and answers from subscribers. You can sign up for that list by going to the Mailing Lists link at tagsrwc.com. “WBMUTBB?” also has its own Archives where you can follow the ongoing stream of messages.

And TAGSRWC publishes Weaver’s Newsletter in alternate months to The eBullet. Like The eBullet, the Weaver’s Newsletter is free. Its focus is tilted a little more to Mayberry merchandise and collectibles and quick newsflashes. To sign up, go to: Weaver’s Newsletter Sign-Up.

The next eBullet is planned for May, and the next Weaver’s Newsletter will be out in April.
