Mayberry will never be the same....

If you were a student in my class this past year, you may remember a story I read to you. It was about a man who was watching something happen for the first time, and as I read the description, you had to make an inference to figure out what he was talking about.  Several of you guessed right, that the man was watching a football game.

Well, the man who wrote the story died today. Andy Griffith was born in Mt. Airy, NC, not far from where we live. Have you ever been to Pilot Mountain? Mt. Airy is just a few miles from there. He was the star of the Andy Griffith Show, and played the role of Sheriff Andy Taylor who lived in the town of Mayberry.  It is said that he created Mayberry to remind himself of his hometown.

Would you like to hear that story again? Click here to see the video.
