POST GAME SPURS - AWAY

Bobc,

Brandon's very lucky to have had you in his corner. Hopefully, as his interests expand in life, he'll be able to balance them nicely.

BobH,

Right you are. I was thinking of all the adults in that show, and I completely overlooked the most obvious survivor. Actually, a little research indicated that Ron's brother, Clint Howard, is also a survivor, although he only appeared in a few episodes. Also Maggie Peterson, who played Charlene Darling, is still alive, as is Elinor Donahue, who played Andy Griffith's first love interest Ellie Walker, on the show. That show was one of my all-time favorites, perhaps because it espoused values in which I believe strongly.
