Don Knotts Remembered With A Bronze Statue

If you have ever heard of the Andy Griffith Show, then I'm sure you've heard of Don Knotts. I grew up with the Andy Griffith Show and I still watch it today.

Don Knotts played the character Barney Fife. Without him, I don't think the show would be half as funny or memorable. He was a great actor and comedian who won five Emmy awards. Though he had a hard childhood and a hard adult life, he was still a great man who has become an iconic character and symbol of the 1960s.

Over the weekend a statue of Don Knotts was unveiled in his hometown of Morgantown, West Virginia. He has been bronzed and placed on a bench outside the town's Metropolitan Theatre. Don's daughter Karen was there to unveil the statue.

Don Knotts would have been 92 on July 21.
