JERRY VAN DYKE (1931- ) the likeable and stuttering younger brother of Dick Van Dyke he is best known for his 199 episodes as Luther Van Dam on Coach. His first major series was destined to become the most joked about television disasters of all time, My Mother the Car. He could have probably have had the role of replacing Don Knotts and his appearance on TAGS ends in a manner you expect to see him back. Had he replaced Knotts it is unlikely he would have fared much better than Jack Burns in that unenviable role. He appeared on four episodes of The Dick Van Dyke Show playing Dick's younger brother! This is a personal check from the 1970s.

I really like him, Scottie. I like him in "THE MIDDLE".

EDDIE CARROLL (1933-2010) is best known as the voice of Disney's Jimmy The Cricket. Carroll appeared as Sgt. Lubick in two episodes of Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. He also appeared on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Sanford and Son, Maude, and others. He appeared in the 1979 horror/thriller The Colnus Horror with Peter Graves. Carroll appeared on one episode of The Andy Griffith Show as the airline desk clerk in "A Trip to Mexico." This actually is one of my favorite of the color episodes.

WALLY ENGELHARDT (1923–1991) is probably best known as Ward Hill Lamon in the 1976 television mini-series Lincoln starring Hal Holbrook. He also appeared in The Blues Brothers. He first appeared in 1963 playing the brother-in-law of Al Lewis' character Schnauser in Car 54 Where Are You? He appeared on The Patty Duke Show and The Defenders. On The Andy Griffith Show episode "Goober Takes a Car Apart" (1965). He plays Sheriff Jackson from Silar City the president of the Sheriff's Association who makes a surprise visit to the court house. His autograph is scarce.

BUCK YOUNG (1921-2000) with a name like that you might think he starred in a lot of westerns, and you would be right. He had the role of "Deputy Buck Johnson" on U. S. Marshall in the late 1950s. He appeared on several episodes of Gunsmoke and other western television shows. He had a recurring role of Sergeant Whipple on Gomer Pyle: USMC. Young also appeared in episodes of M*A*S*H, Wonder Woman, Hogan's Heroes and The Incredible Hulk. He was usually cast as a policeman, soldier or other authority figure. Young was in the horror movie LOOK WHAT'S HAPPENED TO ROSEMARY'S BABY (1976). On TAGS he was "Deputy Joe Watson" in episode "Goober Takes a Car Apart" in 1965. I thought I would place there here with Wally Englehardt who played Sheriff Jackson in that episode. Both Englehardt and Young are very difficult to find autographs.

GLADYS HURLBUT (1898-1988) is best known for playing one of the moonshine making sisters in the TAGS episode "Alcohol and Old Lace." She played Clarabelle Morrison and her sister Jennifer Morrison was played by Charity Grace." Both lades got late starts in television and movies. Charity Grace is one of the hardest to locate TAGS autographs. Gladys Hurlbut is also known for the Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz movie The Long, Long Trailer. She later appeared in an episode of I Love Lucy. Both she and Charity Grace appeared in The Ann Southern Show. In movies she was in The President's Lady, A Man Called Peter and The Rains of Ranchipur. She did a lot of television such as Alfred Hitchcock Presents, The Donna Reed Show, It's a Great Life and several others. Although not as rare as Chairty Grace (1884-1965) Gladys Hurlbut's autograph is elusive.
