    I was 11 and traveling alone from LAX to O'hare in 1969 to see my grandpa. I had just lost my father in Vietnam. I had an hour to kill before my flight and I saw Don Knotts by himself so I went up to ask for his autograph. I told him I was waiting for my flight and he asked me If I'd like to sit down at the snack bar for a doughnut and orange juice. I told him why I was traveling and he was very sympathetic. I told him I loved him in the Ghost and Mr. Chicken as well as all the Mayberry shows. He was so kind and ended up giving me his autograph on a napkin. I told my family about it and no one believed me until I showed them his autograph. He lifted my spirits and I would never forget .

    Don Knotts was one of the funniest male Actors to ever appear on television. His character Barney Fife was a full dimensional character he fleshed out and I wish he hadn't left on his own accord after five seasons. From season 6 on the show faltered and I don't watch it after Don left. He wasn't just a joke character like the smaller ones like Gomer or Otis. His character had to carry a lot of most episodes so he had to have a full range of moods, reactions and expressions, which Barney Fife did. Barney would explode with excitement when he thought of another hair-brained idea, sulk when the idea didn't work, had a quick temper and displayed the all reactions of a very insecure man who had a job far above his real capabilities. (like present day politicians) For an Actor to show all that instead of going for laughs like so many more recent Comics-turned-Actors shows what dedication and professionalism Don put to his work while showing his humbleness while doing it.

    She seems like a very sweet person, and even better, she seems very real. Don must have been a very good dad for her to grow up in the environment she did and still kept her sanity, humility and genuineness.
