    ..the only autograph I've ever gotten in my life was from Andy Griffith..
    it was 1973, and my family had gone down to Nags Head, NC to visit friends.. I was 12 years old, and we were at a marina, going out for some offshore fishing.. the manager mentioned that Mr Griffith's boat was coming in, so we went down to the docks.. as they tied up, Andy stepped out, and greeted us warmly..
    My young friend (..also 12) and I kept looking past Andy, into the boat.. he noticed this, and asked "what y'all lookin for"..? ...... we both replied: "Opie"..., he busted out laughing...
    A true gentleman.. he gave us some of his catch (..which the marina manager put on ice til WE got back..)
    My dad knew some folks that Andy knew from the 50's also, and was in the Air Force when "No Time For Sergeants" came out.. and my mother was from Raleigh...my dad said that the "saluting toilets" scene was the funniest things he'd ever seen..lol..

      @dontaylor7315 3 роки тому +4

      By the time his show went on the air I had been listening to the standup routines for three or four years. I was a kid just 7 years older than Opie and didn't realize Andy had been acting in successful Broadway plays all that time. Each comedy routine was on a 45rpm single and he sang songs on the B-sides - pop, country, rock'n'roll, he was pretty versatile. Now in retrospect I feel that no matter how beloved Sheriff Andy was, Griffith's greatest achievement was his brilliant performance in A Face in the Crowd.
      Oh and also when he was in college he joined the local Gilbert & Sullivan Society and was leading man in some of their productions: Wish I could've been there for that! Born too late and in the wrong state...

    That's for sure! Today's kids have no idea how life was for us. America was at its peak and we were truly blessed. They have sure ruined everything now. I guess nothing lasts forever. I was privileged to travel all over America in the 60's, usually on Route 66. I remember how every town was an adventure. All the restaurants and motels were distinct. You never knew what you would see. The people were friendly and we all felt safe. We knew there were some bad people out there, but they were few.
