Thelma Lou was Barney's main squeeze on The Andy Griffith Show, eventually marrying him. Where did the two meet?

Not too much is known about this backstory, other than this conversation in the episode "Barney's Physical": Andy: "You met Thelma Lou?" Barney: "No, that was in 1960 at Wilton Blair's funeral." Andy: "Oh yeah." Barney: "Try again" Andy: "You moved into Miss Mendelbright's boarding house." Barney: "No."
