Andy Griffith

Ben Matlock is an excellent criminal attorney. He has gone back to find his roots recently. The tracks he was following led him to Mayberry. The sheriff Andy Taylor has stark familiarity. Barney Fife is the name of Andy’s deputy. Andy has a son by the name of Opie. Their lives would not be complete without Aunt Bee. Well, here is a sobering dose of reality: Mr. Griffith has entered another phase of immortality. Andy Griffith (1926-2012)

It's very sad he has died, Robert. What a great guy he was, not just an actor. You could tell that he was a good PERSON. I sure liked his old tv show too. I live in a small town with cops out to get you for every little rule breaking. Joe and I call them "barney fifes."
