Face-to-face with Andy Griffith
When I was 16, the
summer before my senior year in high school, I went to stay with
my grandparents in Manteo on the Outer Banks. They owned The Cloth
Barn, and that is where I had my first real job.
One day while I
was helping tidy up the rolls of cloth, a man wearing sunglasses
came into the shop. It only took me a few seconds to recognize
him. It was the actor Andy Griffith. I was so stunned but somehow
managed to ask if I could help him. He wanted to know if we had
any burlap material. All I managed to do was ask him to wait while
I got my grandfather. After Andy Griffith left, my grandfather
said he would have introduced me to him, but he was afraid I’d
faint.
