Part 1 was last episode and in part 2 Dennis talks more about Mayberry and discusses how his time as a child actor wrapped up. There are questions from the Mayberry cruisers who attended the interview as well. If you didn\u2019t know, Mayberry lost a wonderful man on May 9, 2026. Dennis Rush, who played Opie\u2019s friend Howie in eight episodes over a two and a half year period. Dennis began coming to Mayberry Days, and other Mayberry events in 2018 and had become much loved by fans. His joy and love for his time on The Andy Griffith Show and at discovering how much fans remembered his appearances on the show was heartwarming. Dennis has been featured here on the podcast in an one-on-one interview (TCNW #777) and again along with fellow castmate Keith Thibodeaux, Johnny Paul, (TCNW# 839) but he has so many amazing stories of his career that I wanted to make sure you heard. In part 1, Dennis talked mostly about his easily career and a portion of his time on The Andy Griffith Show so go back and give it a listen if you missed it. Don\u2019t miss either portion of this interview. I would suggest that you go back and listen to\/watch his past interviews as well. Some things are revisited but his story telling was second to none. He was a wonderful person and will be greatly missed.     Sign up for the Two Chairs E-mail Mailing List Don\u2019t forget to sign up for the Two Chairs No Waiting e-mail mailing list.  I want to be able to reach out to you if there\u2019s a problem with the website and the best way to do that is by using a mailing list.  Don\u2019t worry, I won\u2019t be filling your mailbox with e-mail but I would like to have a way to say \u201chey\u201d if the need arises.
