John, you are right about Andrew (Andy) Gentry as a Motorcycle cop and skinny as a pencil. Ha Ha..I always think of him when I see Barney on Mayberry riding that Motorcycle. I knew him well, he rented an apt in our house on Clement St and then he married and moved to another part of town.

He would set at the foot of Hornbarger Hill and hide behind a telephone pole (he was that skinny). Caught a lot of people getting a run for the hill.
