W<\/strong>elcome to the March issue of The eBullet<\/em>!\u00a0 Activities are starting to heat up in Mayberry just surely as springtime is upon us (tell that to the folks in the Rockies and on the Plains who are buried in 20+ inches of snow this week!). We’re all hopeful that the worst of the pandemic is finally about to be behind us. It makes us want to burst out in song…<\/p>\n

Welcome, Sweet Springtime! We greet thee in song!<\/p><\/div>\n

Ahead are some of the goin’s-on around Mayberry as we all gradually begin to emerge from our winter (make that year!) of virtual hibernation!<\/p>\n

Please note that the Museum has more than just Barney’s Two Rules at The Rock. With North Carolina in a modified Phase 3 of pandemic protocols until at least the end of March, the Museum’s Rules include fewer visitors at a time and everyone still needing to wear a mask (bring your own or come prepared to buy one for $5.35). Also wear gloves if you’re planning to use the Museum’s touch screens, and have a credit\/debit card or exact change for payment. <\/em><\/p>\n

LOOKIN’ GOOD, MATES!–Ron Howard tweeted this photo with wife Cheryl during a hike along the Australian coast the day before his 67th birthday (March 1).<\/p><\/div>\n

Ron Howard<\/strong> is on location in Australia where filming has just gotten underway for\u00a0 his current directing project, Thirteen Lives<\/em>, a film for MGM based on the cave rescue of a boys’ soccer team in Thailand, the harrowing event that captivated the world in 2018. Most of the filming will take on the island continent’s Gold Coast.<\/p>\n

Ron’s Imagine Entertainment has also recently struck a “first look” deal with Apple Studios to produce films for the Apple Original Films, which makes movies for streaming on Apple TV+. Imagine has a similar production deal with Apple Documentaries, and they have a TV production deal with CBS.<\/p>\n

For her supporting role as Mamaw in Ron’s Hillbilly Elegy<\/em>, Glenn Close was nominated for a Golden Globe and this week received an Oscar nod as well.<\/p>\n

Ron and Imagine partner Brian Grazer are also executive producers for Genius: Aretha<\/em>, a limited series about Aretha Franklin that is the latest edition of their Genius<\/em> series\u00a0 and that premieres on the National Geographic Channel on March 21.<\/p>\n

HIP HOORAY–Clint Howard<\/strong> posted this photo of himself channeling his inner Leon and enjoying a peanut butter and jelly sandwich while recovering from hip surgery last week. (He also had a cup of ice cream, man!)<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Betty Lynn<\/strong>\u00a0 (Thelma Lou) is still staying at home in Mount Airy and following pandemic safety measures. She’s eager to resume her meet-and-greets with fans at the Andy Griffith Museum, but that likely won’t happen until summertime , at the earliest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

BELOVED COUPLE–Maggie and Gus Mancuso<\/p><\/div>\n

Maggie Peterson Mancuso<\/strong> (Charlene Darling) reports that she is doing O.K. and is settling in at the retirement\/assisted living facility where she and husband Gus moved in December.<\/p>\n

Maggie has recovered well from COVID-19 in January. Gus was hospitalized with COVID-19 during the same time. Following his COVID-19 battle, Gus is currently doing\u00a0 rehab and receiving care at his son’s home. Please continue to keep Maggie and Gus in your prayers!<\/p>\n

Maggie’s GoFundMe page<\/a>, <\/strong>which Maggie’s family has set up to help with some of Maggie’s and Gus’s significant and uncovered medical expenses (including multiple surgeries) during the last couple of years, is still active. Maggie is extremely grateful for all of the generous donations received.<\/p>\n

Speaking of big expenditures, a 1966 Austin Mini Moke, owned and loved for five decades by Jackie Joseph<\/strong> and the late Ken Berry<\/strong> and their family, sold at auction in January for $24,200. (Take that, Mrs. Lesch!)<\/p>\n

Here are a couple of photos of the classic vehicle, including a recent color shot and one of Jackie and kids John and Jenny in a parade c. 1970.<\/p>\n

Mayberry Goes Hollywood!

\"\"

Counting the moments till the movie premiere!<\/p><\/div>\n

The Mayberry Man<\/em><\/strong> movie, written and directed by Stark Howell<\/strong> and produced by Cort Howell<\/strong> (both sons of Hoke Howell<\/strong>, aka Mayberry’s Dud Wash) and co-produced by Greg Schell<\/strong> (son of Ronnie Schell,<\/strong>) is still expected to have its premiere sometime this spring.<\/p>\n

The original plan was for the world premiere to be in Danville, Ind., around mid-May in order to coincide with the annual Mayberry in the Midwest festival, but, as was the case last year, the festival is again not being held this year because of the pandemic. The premiere may well still happen around mid-May, but no official announcement has yet been made. The producers are also working on details for broader distribution, probably including some combination of theaters, broadcast, streaming, and DVDs. Stay tuned!<\/p>\n

That’s a wrap for News of Cast & Crew for this issue.<\/p>\n

Hail and Farewell to a Talented Mayberry Fan<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\"We’re sad to note the passing of Jim Weatherly<\/strong>, who made a wonderful latter-day contribution to Mayberry. Jim co-wrote “Andy and Opie Christmas”<\/strong> <\/a>with Charlie Monk, who also performed the recitation. The song has been a holiday tradition among Mayberry fans since its release in 2011. (Note: It’s a tranquil listening experience for any time of year!)<\/p>\n

Jim died at home in Brentwood, Tenn., on February 3. He was 77. Beyond Mayberry, Jim is best-known for writing “Midnight Train to Georgia, the chart-topping, Grammy-winner for Gladys Knight & The Pips in 1974. His “Neither One of Us (Wants to Be the First to Say Goodbye)” also won a Grammy for the group that same year. He wrote dozens of songs recorded by everyone from Kenny Rogers and Glen Campbell to Ray Price and Garth Brooks.<\/p>\n

Fans of Mayberry are grateful for the gem that Jim and his pal Charlie created for us to enjoy for many years to come.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A hearty welcome to both of these new chapters!<\/p>\n

The Hookstown chapter is unique among all of our chapters (so far), because it was founded by a non-human! The leader of the pack is Dixie Higgins<\/strong>, an endearing beagle and avid TAGS watcher.\u00a0 She really digs Mayberry. Here’s the woof proof:<\/p>\n

\"\"

WHO’S A GOOD GIRL?!–Pioneering chapter founder Dixie Higgins<\/strong> doing what she loves best–well, maybe other than getting tummy rubs and chasing squirrels.<\/p><\/div>\n

Dixie’s canine co-founders are Teeka, Foster, Cindy, Ned, Lilly and Elvis. An honorary posthumous founder is Peanut Higgins, a beagle who attended all 15 Mayberry Days®<\/a> <\/strong>festivals during her lifetime.<\/p>\n

By the way, we’ve confirmed that one of Dixie’s favorite characters is Lydia Crosswaith, because Lydia likes “hangin’ her head out the window like a dog.”<\/p>\n

\"\"

DIXIE AIN’T JUST WHISTLIN’–Dixie intently peruses the Official Chapter Charter for her TAGSRWC group. She seems to like the Charter even though it isn’t bacon-scented. (But wait just a minute…Does the shirt on the person behind Dixie say…C-A-T?! That could spell trouble!)<\/p><\/div>\n

At first, the idea of chapters being started by Mayberry fans other than humans gave us paws. We know it could be a bone of contention for some. But upon further reflection, we realized that there is nothing in the TAGSRWC bylaws (Bylaws? What bylaws? There are bylaws?) that says that chapters have to be started by people. (Note: Don’t tell Dixie and the gang that they’re not people!)<\/p>\n

Dixie and her pals invite other TAGS fans (whether dogs, humans or even–dare we say?– cats) to join their chapter. (Yeah, like cats would ever join anything any more than giraffes would! Then again, some feline fans just might surprise us.)<\/p>\n

\"\"

NOT A DECOY…SHAZAM!–Shazam<\/strong> and fellow Compelsion Nuts<\/strong> members Doc<\/strong> and Sherry Hyatt<\/strong> visit with Rodney Dillard<\/strong> in Nashville during a 1991 Mayberry cast reunion event.<\/p><\/div>\n

Through the years, we’ve had other animals who have been active members of chapters, most notably Shazam<\/strong>, a cockatiel who was a longtime member of Compelsion Nuts<\/strong> (Kingsport, Tenn.). Shazam would gleefully whistle the TAGS theme song and also attended multiple Mayberry events over the years–not so much as a performer, but just as a fan\u00a0 who enjoyed being around other fans and meeting the stars.<\/p>\n

We know we’re potentially unleashing a furry flurry (and an untethered feathered kerfuffle) of chapters being started by non-humans. So, we encourage\u00a0 all prospective non-human founders of chapters to offer some sort of documentation of their devotion to watching TAGS, just as Dixie has done.\u00a0 In other words, we’re begging for some more adorable photos!<\/p>\n

We know we’re risking “jumping the shar pei” with this marked new territory for chapter founders. At least initially, we’ll probably draw the line of acceptance somewhere around goldfish, which we know might make for some mad worms, but we’ve got enough backbone to withstand the flak from that, which is more than we can say for worms.<\/p>\n

Whether by humans or other creatures, starting a chapter of TAGSRWC is really easy to do. Just pick a name that hasn’t already been selected by another group. You can check the searchable list of chapter names already taken at www.tagsrwc.com<\/b><\/a>. Then submit your chapter’s name with your location and a list of your founding members by e-mail (to Goober@imayberry.com<\/strong>) or by U.S. Mail to TAGSRWC’s HQ (118 16th Avenue South, Suite 4, PMB 146, Nashville, TN\u00a0 37203-3100<\/strong>). That’s all it takes!<\/p>\n

Whether or not you start or join a local chapter, you can always join our online\u00a0“Who’s Been Messin’ Up the Bulletin Board?”<\/strong><\/a> chapter or any of several exclusively online chapters on Facebook<\/a> and, more recently, MeWe<\/a> (see Mayberry on the Web below).<\/p>\n

New! (“Shoo, fly!”)<\/p><\/div>\n

“No doubt about it–that’s a pickle.”
“Yeah, boy.”<\/p><\/div>\n

We’re really excited to offer some brand new Mayberry’s Finest ™ brand products<\/a> to the popular gourmet coffees and country bacon that Weaver’s already carries. We’re so fired up that you might even say we’re “pickled tink.” Did somebody say pickles? Yep, that’s right. Somebody finally did it…they’re making Mayberry pickles<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Fortunately, these are good ol’ store-bought pickles (it even says so right on the label). Delicious hamburger dill chips to put it precisely. We’re proud to be able to ship these everywhere from Oregon to Nova Scotia. And best of all, you won’t have to learn to love ’em like Aunt Bee’s “kerosene cucumbers.” No, these are more like Clara’s blue-ribbon pickles–just as flavorsome as can be.<\/p>\n

And you know if there’s canning going on in Mayberry, then the next thing to come after pickles has to be preserves (or at least jams). Fortunately, Mayberry’s Finest ™ has steered clear of marmalade that smells like paint. Instead they’ve created some truly outstanding Blackberry<\/strong>, Strawberry<\/strong> and Peach jams<\/strong><\/a>. You’ll be tempted to eat them by the spoonful right out of the jar, but we think you’ll find that they’re even better on biscuits and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

GET YOUR TASTE BUDS JAMMIN’–Three jams join popular coffees<\/a><\/strong> and bacon<\/a> <\/strong>in the Mayberry’s Finest™ lineup at Weaver’s! (Sorry…eggs and biscuits not included.)<\/p><\/div>\n

In any case, Mayberry’s Finest ™ is now hitting on all cylinders with a great lineup of food items. And more products are in the works for 2021. Weaver’s is proud to be the online retail partner for these wonderful, official “Andy Griffith Show” gourmet foods from Mayberry’s Finest ™..<\/span><\/p>\n
