Goodnight from Mayberry

TV icon Andy Griffith dies at 86� - NY Daily News

I watched an interview with Ron Howard commenting on his experiences with Andy Griffith. I was struck by a comment he attributed to Andy.  He said that the kind of life expressed in Mayberry was already long past.  That it depicted a life more in tune with the 1930s than the 1960s.  That kind of surprised me but he was probably right.  Although we can remember some of the similarities from our own home towns as a rule that time had moved on.  It is kind of sad because it was a much simpler time and it tugs us into reverie contemplating that comity and peaceableness.
