Andy's real family - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

10-12-2001, 12:27 AM

Does anyone know if there are pictures of Andy's children anywhere on the web. I understand his son died, but that he had two daughters. I love Andy and Barney and the whole town, it is our favorite show after all these years, good stuff. Barney will never be replaced by ANYONE. Andy is one of a kind, and what a great fellow Opie turned into. What ever happened to Ron Howards brother? Does anyone know what he does for a living and where he is now. Also where does Ron live, and Andy, and Barney today. Does Barney have children?

I just discovered this site, so am excited! Hope someone can answer my questions.
Thanks.

Andy and Barney and Ron have never met me, but I consider them part of MY family.

I don't know if you can find pics of Andy's real family. Don has a daughter. Clint Howard still does acting jobs in some of Ron's movies. I also consider Barney, Andy, and Opie part of my family also!

Hottest Men alive:
Dale Midkiff
Anthony Starke
Tim McGraw
Jonathan Crombie

Lumpy: Did you go out for anything, Dud?

Dudley: Well, I went out for football, but I got my finger stepped on, so my mother made me quit.

Eddie: Well listen-- I went out for basketball and I got my hair pulled, and my mother made ME quit.

Dudley: It's not that I was afraid of getting hurt or anything; it's just that-- well, it's kind o' hard to play the flute with a busted finger.

[Eddie and Lumpy suppress laughter]

Dale Midkiff is my man!

Thanks for the info. Are there pics of Dons daughter anywhere that you know of. He was divorced wasn't he?

We watched Apollo 13 tonight, was Clint 'Gene' at Houston coordinating the problem solving? I can look it up in cast info, but this is more fun.

Anyone know of pics of Andys real daughters anywhere?

I have one of Andys music CD's love it.

He cannot have just dissapeared from us, we love him forever!!!!!!! Spose he reads here?

A photo of Don's daughter can be seen in his autobiography. NO idea where you can find photos of Andy's real life children.

Andy now lives in Manteo, NC, which is near the Outer Banks!
God Bless!

Please forgive me for my mistake! I was reading an article in Country Weekly magazine & Andy was talking about his new Christmas album (produced by Marty Stuart) and said something about his house in Wilmington, NC!
God Bless!

Ron Howard lives in Connecticut,the last I knew. He and Mel Gibson moved there several years ago,to get away from Hollywood.

Hi! This is REALLY interesting to me! I live in North Carolina and as Clay Aiken put it "Andy Griffith is a staple here." The beach I go to is only a little ways from Wilmington and I go through there every time we go. That means I've been with in a few MILES of him!!!

Furthermore I lived in Piolet Mountain til I was 2. I don't want to brag, I just think it's kinda interesting.

colkid · 01-21-2004, 08:30 AM

Have any of you been to the Mayberry Festival,(In Sept??
I would like to go in the next two=three years. Does anybody
have any advice?
God Bless,

I think this is interesting too. Even though I live in Mount Airy (Andy's hometown) I'm still learning new things about Andy!

Clay Aiken is SO right!

I love, love, love, Mayberry Days!!!!!!! Yes, it is in September!! Since I'm from Mt. Airy, I love going just to see all the different things Mt. Airy can come up with. 2003's parade was the best I've ever been too!

colkid · 02-12-2004, 06:14 PM

You live there? Come on,how about a little advice on coming to
the festival.
Motel,B&B etc. approximate cost. Should we stay in a small down down the road. Schedule of events,maybe from last year.
I may have a motor home then,where can I stay?
If you have time I appreciate it. If you don't mind send your
phone # to colkid01@netzero.com. I will call on a weekend and
it would be faster. My wife like's him also.
thanks and God Bless,
ernie

~*Dailey'sGurl*~ · 02-14-2004, 10:28 PM

sorry, don't give my phone # to strangers & I don't really know that much about the hotels & stuff like that. I know that sounds real stupid, but I don't really have any idea.
Try visiting
www.visitmayberry.com
and maybe that will help.
Sorry!

I was a childhood friend of Andy Griffith's wife Cindi. We took ballet together in Jacksonville Florida. Just thought I would share that!
