Who would you be if you lived in Mayberry? I have thought about this question. Here is my personal answer:

I would be a writer who comes back to live in Mayberry with his family from Los Angeles.

The story line:

I moved away when I was a young man to pursue a writing career after serving time in the Army. I knew Andy and Barney in school and served with Andy in the army. I was good friends with them before moving off to Los Angeles. After becoming a known writer (writing books and a couple of family movies) I move back to Mayberry with my family to get away from the fast paced city of Los Angeles.

I reunite with my friends. Andy, Bareny, Floyd. I buy a house across from Andy. My son and daughter become good friends with Opie. My wife becomes best friends with Thelma Lou. Aunt Bee becomes a favorite. At times, when Barney leaves Mayberry for short periods, a few days here and there, I become a temporary deputy for Andy. Lots of fun. Because I write books (mysteries) Andy and Barney have me help them on a few capers.

Lots of fun in Mayberry with my friends and family.

Who would you be? How would you write your character into Mayberry?

G-D Bless.
