Jim Clark knows everything there is to know about "The Andy Griffith Show" and is an excellent writer as well. Our family has a shelf specifically for his books.

Sound advice for parenting from the show. I always tried to emulate Andy. I wasn't always successful, but it's a good goal to shoot for!
