c-series don 8,581 #4 Posted 12 hours ago I actually met Don Knotts on more than one occasion back in the mid eighties. My friends dad was the caretaker and pilot for the owner of a small private island nearby here. The owner of the island was friends with Don and he was there on several occasions when I was there with the caretakers sons. As I remember he was a very nice guy. The funny thing was that where I grew up it actually was a bit like Mayberry and a touch of the movie On Golden Pond!! Although I wasn’t old enough to drive a car, (there was a one lane bridge to access it) I could go to this little island by taking my 15’ boat there. I miss those days….. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beap52 745 #6 Posted 10 hours ago What caught my attention was the diesel was smokeless. If I remember, the diesels back in those days usually had the side of the trailers blackened behind the exhaust. I was at a circle track race several years ago. I fellow, who looked rather out of place in his nice shirt and slacks, sat nearby. We talked some and he had done some acting with Don Knotts. He said Don was a nice guy, somewhat of a ladies man and actually rather shy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 54,686 #7 Posted 10 hours ago I bought a used 1965 D-100 Dodge in 1976 while I was building my house. The odometer showed about 20K so I figured it was probably 120K. the slant six ran great and would haul quite a load. One day a fellow was looking at the truck in a parking lot when I came out of the store. Turns out he had driven the truck for a previous owner and told me it had over 400K on it. In 1987 I traded it in on a new Dakota, by then it had a bit over 500K on it, never had a bit of trouble with it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
