7. Andy is still alive..

I believe.

[Island Blue]

9. Yes, Andy is still alive.

He's getting on in age, but he's still alive.

[GoCubsGo]

10. Yep. As are his and Barney's girlfriends

Aneta Coursaut (Helen Crump) and Betty Lynn (Thelma Lou) are both still around.

11. I always wondered about the action Barney was getting down at the truck stop

was Juanita a lot lizard?

26. I don't think there was any activity of ill repute going on down at the truck stop. Barney was

always calling in to "trouble check".

14. Aneta died in 1995 according to wikipedia

Anyway, RIP George.

However, Andy's first girlfriend, Ellie Walker (Elinor Donahue) is still alive.
