Artie "Mr. Fitness" Levin gave keys to artery health
The man in the photo is Artie Levin who was a local physical fitness legend in Roanoke Virginia. I remember his television program coming on at 9:30 on weekday mornings when I was a child. You can see from the image that he could jump in the air and stretch his so that his fingers touched his toes.

Sarah the Mayberry telephone operator
Sarah was the telephone switchboard operator on THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW. She was never seen but was mentioned in 23 episodes of the sitcom that ran from 1960-1968. Mayberry residents would pick up a telephone and ask Sarah to get them another party on the line, usually someone in Mout Pilot, Noth Carolina. Sometimes she would eavesdrop and on other occasions, Andy or Barney would have a short conversation with her. If I had to imagine what she looked like I would say that Sarah resembled the woman in the cover photo.

"Call me if you need anything" is a hollow phrase
For my entire life when people have been divorced, hospitalized, or after funerals, I have heard at least one person say "If there's anything I can do just let me know," or "Call me if you need anything." Decades ago I heard a pastor tell the congregation to stop using these phrases. He said that telling someone to call you, puts the burden on the person who is in need and makes them feel like they have to beg for assistance.
