1
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:11,430
This is Earl Hamner.
2
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,690
When I was growing up in the hills of Virginia during the Great Depression,
3
00:00:15,990 --> 00:00:17,310
I would never have believed that
4
00:00:17,310 --> 00:00:20,040
I would someday end up at a studio in Hollywood,
5
00:00:20,220 --> 00:00:22,680
telling the story of my life on television.
6
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:27,600
As a matter of fact, television as we know it today didn't even exist.
7
00:00:28,110 --> 00:00:31,500
We grew up here in this house where my mother still lives.
8
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,780
From the earliest times, I can remember I wanted to be a writer.
9
00:00:37,380 --> 00:00:39,090
I was told that to be a good writer,
10
00:00:39,150 --> 00:00:42,000
one should write about what he cares for most passionately.
11
00:00:42,420 --> 00:00:46,500
That was my family. And I wrote about them in my novel Spencer's mountain,
12
00:00:46,770 --> 00:00:48,810
and in a later novel, The Homecoming,
13
00:00:49,230 --> 00:00:51,510
Spencer's mountain became a film and
14
00:00:51,510 --> 00:00:56,130
a homecoming became a Lorimar CBS television special in 1971.
15
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,670
From the special grew the series, The Waltons,
16
00:00:59,850 --> 00:01:02,490
which premiered in the fall of 1972.
17
00:01:03,060 --> 00:01:05,490
Since then, we've covered 10 years,
18
00:01:05,730 --> 00:01:07,500
a decade of the Waltons.
19
00:01:11,610 --> 00:01:15,390
On the special program will visit my hometown where it all began.
20
00:01:15,690 --> 00:01:18,060
Meet my mother, my brothers and sisters,
21
00:01:18,390 --> 00:01:21,480
and the actors who have portrayed them all these years.
22
00:01:21,660 --> 00:01:25,230
Stay with us during the next two hours for a visit to to theater,
23
00:01:25,230 --> 00:01:29,280
dissimilar towns, Hollywood, California and Skylar Virginia
24
00:01:29,700 --> 00:01:32,490
and a fun look back at a decade of the Waltons?
25
00:02:58,140 --> 00:03:01,290
Here on this set on the backside of the Burbank studio,
26
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,060
a lot of talented people have recreated the world
27
00:03:04,060 --> 00:03:06,610
in which I grew up my family and
28
00:03:06,610 --> 00:03:08,980
a time that existed some 40 years ago
29
00:03:09,010 --> 00:03:12,910
in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia was their health.
30
00:03:13,150 --> 00:03:15,640
I'd like to take you back to a very special day.
31
00:03:15,940 --> 00:03:17,320
grandma's birthday.
32
00:03:18,070 --> 00:03:18,910
We're looking for Mama.
33
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,110
Oh Which shoe it is. Wherever did you find that up in the attic?
34
00:03:22,350 --> 00:03:24,570
Just when it comes to finding junk.
35
00:03:24,570 --> 00:03:25,920
JimBob got a sixth sense.
36
00:03:26,310 --> 00:03:29,430
This isn't the pictures I've been missing for grandma's album.
37
00:03:29,580 --> 00:03:31,650
This is the best present we could ever give her.
38
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:33,150
Where's that picture of Ben
39
00:03:33,150 --> 00:03:34,560
jumping into the pond in his birthday.
40
00:03:36,090 --> 00:03:38,040
was looking for the one with you at the mumps.
41
00:03:38,190 --> 00:03:40,110
Yeah, you look like a beach ball with freckles
42
00:03:42,330 --> 00:03:44,520
mono looks jumbo is handwriting.
43
00:03:46,020 --> 00:03:49,260
By smile the Beeman son that quite outshine
44
00:03:49,260 --> 00:03:52,230
and warms the course in blood like heavy wine.
45
00:03:52,830 --> 00:03:54,150
That was the your Jumbo was in love
46
00:03:54,150 --> 00:03:55,020
with Marsha Woolery.
47
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:03,840
Smile, the beaming Sun dot quad outshine and
48
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,130
warms the coursing blood
49
00:04:05,130 --> 00:04:09,900
like heavy wind tunnel
50
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,070
Oh, that's as far as I've written.
51
00:04:15,690 --> 00:04:19,320
Like, it sounds just like God
52
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,480
stuff I don't understand. And I did it for books.
53
00:04:21,810 --> 00:04:23,910
I plan to write at least 12 stanzas of it.
54
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,120
I don't see how you do it.
55
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,950
Only inspiration is the important thing.
56
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,930
I mean, when someone inspires someone else
57
00:04:39,930 --> 00:04:41,070
with feelings
58
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,090
with certain feelings.
59
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,840
Do you drink a lot of wine John boy.
60
00:04:51,090 --> 00:04:54,300
Why me? mentioned some kind of wine in the poem
61
00:04:54,630 --> 00:04:56,160
for heavy wine heavy wine.
62
00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:59,940
Well, actually, I don't know too much about wine.
63
00:05:01,230 --> 00:05:03,000
My daddy makes dandelion one
64
00:05:10,230 --> 00:05:12,180
and I finished my poem you think?
65
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:14,250
Not to be keeping your permit.
66
00:05:14,850 --> 00:05:15,810
Cool. That's all right.
67
00:05:16,740 --> 00:05:19,260
No one asked to the loo Anyway, bye
68
00:05:25,950 --> 00:05:27,750
funny how often something like this
69
00:05:27,750 --> 00:05:29,520
brings back a whole flood of memories.
70
00:05:30,270 --> 00:05:32,460
I bet John boy would be embarrassed that we read his poem.
71
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,740
I doubt he never did have any privacy.
72
00:05:35,310 --> 00:05:37,140
I remember times when he'd be trying to write
73
00:05:37,350 --> 00:05:38,220
and he'd be interrupted
74
00:05:38,220 --> 00:05:39,540
by just about the whole family
75
00:05:45,510 --> 00:05:47,460
yeah, let me know
76
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:00,390
think I'm having a heart attack.
77
00:06:02,070 --> 00:06:04,620
Heart attack. Well, it keeps going. Wham. Wham. Wham.
78
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,170
It starts from lunchtime and I think I'm suffocating
79
00:06:07,470 --> 00:06:09,630
or how to start trying to sleep
80
00:06:09,630 --> 00:06:10,920
trying to figure out things.
81
00:06:12,270 --> 00:06:15,600
Now what kinds of things like why a boy likes girl one day,
82
00:06:15,810 --> 00:06:17,670
and the next day is off chasing some other girl.
83
00:06:18,780 --> 00:06:20,490
I know what kind of hard trouble you got.
84
00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:23,700
GW Haynes hard trouble, right?
85
00:06:24,330 --> 00:06:25,860
I don't know what he sees it or
86
00:06:26,310 --> 00:06:29,460
she can't catch can't run can't throw screens
87
00:06:29,460 --> 00:06:30,570
if she sees a woolly worm.
88
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,750
Why not? More than a week go GW was making fun of her.
89
00:06:34,230 --> 00:06:35,100
What happened?
90
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,800
Well, sister, there comes a time when boys like girls to be different.
91
00:06:41,340 --> 00:06:43,980
And GW may be at exactly that point.
92
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,050
Where fancy dress is more interesting
93
00:06:46,050 --> 00:06:47,250
than a great catcher's mitt.
94
00:06:48,390 --> 00:06:50,400
Well, he might still like the catcher's mitt,
95
00:06:50,430 --> 00:06:53,520
but he'd rather see the girl in the fancy dress
96
00:06:58,770 --> 00:07:00,030
Did I leave my harp in here?
97
00:07:00,330 --> 00:07:02,190
No, I don't know Jason look around
98
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:04,680
right
99
00:07:09,390 --> 00:07:12,000
you gotta save depends on look around
100
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,640
the dresser changed my pajamas
101
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:15,090
broke
102
00:07:17,910 --> 00:07:19,320
I sleep in here John boy
103
00:07:19,380 --> 00:07:20,580
there's mass under my bed
104
00:07:34,110 --> 00:07:36,150
What do you write? Stuff
105
00:07:56,370 --> 00:07:56,970
Good night
106
00:08:09,180 --> 00:08:10,920
now what's it doing over here
107
00:08:15,510 --> 00:08:16,350
pretty Jason
108
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,010
but is this a family reunion?
109
00:08:44,670 --> 00:08:46,860
John boy, you're not following us.
110
00:08:47,309 --> 00:08:49,289
That was nice here. It's a little darker now.
111
00:08:50,340 --> 00:08:52,140
Why would you think we should put this one in the book?
112
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,930
Oh, Grandma doesn't always approved with the Baldwin sisters.
113
00:08:56,830 --> 00:08:59,050
But why not? They're part of the family too.
114
00:09:00,010 --> 00:09:00,640
That's a good fit.
115
00:09:01,180 --> 00:09:01,960
So the only
116
00:09:03,460 --> 00:09:05,020
Has anybody tried using it lately?
117
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:06,010
See?
118
00:09:09,460 --> 00:09:11,350
They wouldn't accept my story in longhand.
119
00:09:13,420 --> 00:09:16,510
Like might one venture to ask what the story is about?
120
00:09:19,030 --> 00:09:21,040
Well, it's not my family mostly.
121
00:09:21,970 --> 00:09:23,620
But how I went looking for my daddy
122
00:09:23,620 --> 00:09:27,250
when Christmas time stopped here on the way
123
00:09:27,250 --> 00:09:30,370
and had little recipe and you mentioned the recipe in the story.
124
00:09:30,850 --> 00:09:31,990
Yes, ma'am. I hope you don't mind.
125
00:09:33,340 --> 00:09:35,680
Of course we don't mind.
126
00:09:36,130 --> 00:09:39,460
What everybody in the whole world should know about the recipe.
127
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,540
How dare those magazine people turn down a story about the recipe.
128
00:09:43,990 --> 00:09:45,610
Yankees probably.
129
00:09:45,940 --> 00:09:47,230
Yes, ma'am. New York people.
130
00:09:49,330 --> 00:09:51,760
Now am I to understand John Boy,
131
00:09:52,390 --> 00:09:55,870
that these treacherous Yankees might be persuaded
132
00:09:55,870 --> 00:09:57,610
to accept your story about the recipe
133
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:58,600
if it were typewritten.
134
00:10:00,700 --> 00:10:02,410
I think it would stand a better chance of it
135
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:16,630
but the judge say made me believe
136
00:10:16,630 --> 00:10:21,820
the judge would say that nothing is more important
137
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,450
than the nurturer and of artistic endeavor.
138
00:10:25,680 --> 00:10:27,150
I can just hear him saying
139
00:10:28,020 --> 00:10:30,210
he had such an authoritative voice.
140
00:10:32,550 --> 00:10:33,240
Does this mean that?
141
00:10:46,770 --> 00:10:49,350
Typewriter helped, but it was going to be some time
142
00:10:49,350 --> 00:10:51,480
before my first story was to be published.
143
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,530
In the meantime, other important events were taking place
144
00:10:55,530 --> 00:10:57,270
that were to affect our lives.
145
00:10:58,140 --> 00:11:00,510
It was a time in the country when everybody was learning
146
00:11:00,510 --> 00:11:02,760
at firsthand what it was like to be poor.
147
00:11:03,390 --> 00:11:06,840
In the cities man who had owned their own businesses the year before,
148
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:08,700
we're selling apples on the street.
149
00:11:09,150 --> 00:11:13,230
The outlook was equally grim for the farming people of the heartland of the
country,
150
00:11:13,740 --> 00:11:17,010
already trying to get along under pressure and prices for their produce.
151
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,010
They were struck by a series of natural disasters,
152
00:11:20,340 --> 00:11:22,200
the area came to be called the dustbowl
153
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,310
hometowns in Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma and Nebraska.
154
00:11:26,550 --> 00:11:28,200
Were left inundated with dust
155
00:11:28,410 --> 00:11:32,010
as the people migrated in the hope of finding some better life.
156
00:11:33,660 --> 00:11:35,220
It was also a time in our country
157
00:11:35,220 --> 00:11:38,700
when a crippling disease called polio was raging unchecked.
158
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,540
It was destroying 1000s of families including our own
159
00:11:43,950 --> 00:11:44,970
hands that will test
160
00:11:49,770 --> 00:11:50,670
this it is live
161
00:11:58,260 --> 00:12:00,300
tomorrow I'm going to start learning how to use it
162
00:12:08,970 --> 00:12:09,930
what's happened live
163
00:12:11,940 --> 00:12:14,220
it's afternoon I have a lesson in humility
164
00:12:17,310 --> 00:12:19,080
got to get back to the business of living
165
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,990
with things the way they are instead of the way
166
00:12:21,990 --> 00:12:22,920
I wish they could be
167
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:25,590
Sure.
168
00:14:06,390 --> 00:14:07,440
You heard Elizabeth cool
169
00:14:15,180 --> 00:14:16,080
I just had to go
170
00:14:20,250 --> 00:14:21,600
she was having a bad dream
171
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:52,410
did you know maybe you were right jump.
172
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,040
Maybe I was trying to win it
173
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:57,150
just got up without thinking
174
00:15:14,340 --> 00:15:15,060
Look at me
175
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,530
walk as well as any one year old
176
00:15:19,530 --> 00:15:20,280
in the county.
177
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,070
I just make take utensil you grow
178
00:15:27,060 --> 00:15:29,580
and been meaning to finish this photo album for years
179
00:15:29,580 --> 00:15:31,620
after the special occasion to bring me to do it.
180
00:15:31,860 --> 00:15:33,990
Somebody get ribbon and paper and we'll wrap it.
181
00:15:34,050 --> 00:15:35,730
I gotta pick certain books somewhere.
182
00:15:36,300 --> 00:15:39,150
Mama, do you think Grandma's gonna want to be reminded of all these years?
183
00:15:39,540 --> 00:15:41,670
I don't see why not. They've been good years
184
00:15:41,670 --> 00:15:44,100
mostly learning and growing years.
185
00:15:44,490 --> 00:15:47,250
Looking at all our old baby pictures might make her feel old.
186
00:15:47,490 --> 00:15:49,260
Grandmas too young to feel old.
187
00:15:49,470 --> 00:15:54,270
Right? Besides grandmothers kind of like having pictures of their
grandchildren
188
00:15:54,270 --> 00:15:56,370
to show off to people. Just ask mama
189
00:15:56,730 --> 00:15:59,160
asked me later right now I got other things on my mind
190
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,860
like a birthday dinner up everybody reminiscing.
191
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,230
Back The Waltons will continue as we look back to the time
192
00:16:07,260 --> 00:16:10,140
when the family considered moving away from Walton's Mountain
193
00:16:19,860 --> 00:16:21,300
don't want this cake to fall?
194
00:16:21,540 --> 00:16:23,250
Don't worry, Mama got plenty of wood
195
00:16:30,050 --> 00:16:33,050
when do I get to lick the spoon? You have to wrestle me for it
196
00:16:41,780 --> 00:16:42,890
make a whole bunch of party.
197
00:16:43,370 --> 00:16:45,710
This is not grandma's 10th Birthday JimBob.
198
00:16:45,980 --> 00:16:48,380
We would like to have some semblance of dignity.
199
00:16:54,830 --> 00:16:59,120
Until this series appeared television families remain stationary in time,
200
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:03,890
characters and family drama frequently did not reflect the events that took
place.
201
00:17:03,890 --> 00:17:05,540
In the previous week's episode,
202
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,110
we were determined to design each episode of The Waltons,
203
00:17:09,380 --> 00:17:11,840
as if it were a chapter in a continuing novel.
204
00:17:12,590 --> 00:17:17,000
If we've been successful, it's because our audience recognizes our
characters as human
205
00:17:17,390 --> 00:17:20,120
endowed equally with strengths and weaknesses,
206
00:17:20,420 --> 00:17:22,700
reaching out to those around them for warmth,
207
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,620
and support and affirmation.
208
00:17:25,250 --> 00:17:28,100
And we've found drama in the simplest of situations,
209
00:17:28,460 --> 00:17:31,400
and the homeless setting up a kitchen in an exchange
210
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,980
between young and old members of the same family.
211
00:17:34,970 --> 00:17:38,270
Mostly on the series, what we've always tried to do was to entertain,
212
00:17:38,570 --> 00:17:41,030
to tell a story and we hoped a good story.
213
00:17:41,420 --> 00:17:44,690
But as time passed, it turned out we were doing something in addition,
214
00:17:45,140 --> 00:17:47,780
we were celebrating some values in American life
215
00:17:47,870 --> 00:17:50,120
that go back to pioneer times.
216
00:17:50,810 --> 00:17:53,510
But if you had $100,000 just for yourself,
217
00:17:53,510 --> 00:17:55,430
let's say you couldn't spend anybody else you'd lose it.
218
00:17:55,490 --> 00:17:56,180
What would you do with it?
219
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,660
Oh, I wouldn't. I wouldn't begin we're
220
00:18:00,170 --> 00:18:03,020
we're just playing little games to what we do if we suddenly got rich.
221
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,350
I can do Gumball icon.
222
00:18:06,350 --> 00:18:08,510
I'm gonna have some neat. I'll be there.
223
00:18:09,410 --> 00:18:10,880
Pretend Mom, what would you do with money?
224
00:18:11,890 --> 00:18:13,570
All right, let's see.
225
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,100
Well, first, I'd buy me a new dress the golden anniversary.
226
00:18:18,430 --> 00:18:19,810
Then I buy some curtains.
227
00:18:20,290 --> 00:18:21,010
What else mama?
228
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,120
Well, I guess it'd be enough leftover to go see my sister Frances next
month.
229
00:18:25,510 --> 00:18:26,170
I know what I do.
230
00:18:26,170 --> 00:18:28,540
I buy me a pig card kind of which people have
231
00:18:28,750 --> 00:18:30,160
have somebody drive me around.
232
00:18:30,190 --> 00:18:32,050
Like go to my friend's house. Give them rides.
233
00:18:32,530 --> 00:18:33,490
What would you do daddy?
234
00:18:35,530 --> 00:18:38,050
I'd probably buy Elizabeth a new tooth for the front of her mouth.
235
00:18:38,500 --> 00:18:39,820
Seriously, what would you do?
236
00:18:40,510 --> 00:18:42,670
Watching the roof, paint the house,
237
00:18:42,730 --> 00:18:45,190
fix up the sawmill base some of those debts
238
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:46,930
and put the rest in the bank.
239
00:18:47,140 --> 00:18:50,110
I'd like to get me a new rocker with a good backrest.
240
00:18:50,710 --> 00:18:52,120
Well, that's your grandma. What would you like?
241
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,470
Oh, I don't know. I'd like to be two inches taller.
242
00:18:57,850 --> 00:19:00,010
I don't need none. Well, you got all that money. Graham.
243
00:19:00,010 --> 00:19:01,210
You got to spend it on something.
244
00:19:03,310 --> 00:19:06,040
Some kind of a clock that can turn back 20 years
245
00:19:06,070 --> 00:19:08,710
I but then the children wouldn't be here and forget.
246
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:10,900
We got to go to New York City and study music.
247
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:12,070
What would you like Ben?
248
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,250
I'd buy me an airplane to fly up that New York Marsh Yankees.
249
00:19:15,730 --> 00:19:18,730
I know a Marriott I'm like Shut your yap to go to Hollywood
250
00:19:18,730 --> 00:19:21,880
and see Gary Cooper in person. Hey, that's not a bad idea. I'd like that.
251
00:19:21,930 --> 00:19:23,310
We haven't asked Jim Bob what he'd like
252
00:19:23,310 --> 00:19:24,600
what would you do if you had $100,000?
253
00:19:25,590 --> 00:19:27,300
He I never had $100,000
254
00:19:27,330 --> 00:19:28,410
How many zeros?
255
00:19:29,430 --> 00:19:32,550
I don't believe a person should have more than they know what to do with.
256
00:19:33,420 --> 00:19:35,610
I believe a body should earn his living
257
00:19:35,610 --> 00:19:36,750
by the sweat of his brow.
258
00:19:38,130 --> 00:19:40,440
I don't know. There are times
259
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,690
when I can use a little less sweat on my brow
260
00:19:51,390 --> 00:19:55,680
see 280 plus 14 times 10
261
00:19:56,220 --> 00:20:00,060
No seven you got the pedals.
262
00:20:00,360 --> 00:20:03,810
No, I'm trying to figure out how many birthdays we've celebrated in this
family.
263
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:05,040
How many do you think
264
00:20:05,100 --> 00:20:07,830
I couldn't even begin to guess which one was your favorite?
265
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:09,570
That's an easy one
266
00:20:17,430 --> 00:20:19,710
well, thank goodness someone's come to keep me company.
267
00:20:22,170 --> 00:20:24,120
I have some for your birthday for you
268
00:20:32,100 --> 00:20:33,720
I've been trying to figure out what to give you.
269
00:20:35,820 --> 00:20:38,340
It's been difficult this year. I thought I knew what I was going to give
you.
270
00:20:38,340 --> 00:20:42,270
But that didn't seem right. But I was reading this morning.
271
00:20:43,170 --> 00:20:49,860
And I found a poem in here by a man named Gerard Manley Hopkins,
272
00:20:50,670 --> 00:20:53,010
and I'd like to read it to you for your birthday
273
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:00,630
here it is, it's called the wind hover.
274
00:21:01,350 --> 00:21:07,770
That's a bird I caught this morning morning's minion.
275
00:21:08,580 --> 00:21:13,290
Kingdom of daylights Dauphin, dappled Dawn drawn Falken
276
00:21:13,650 --> 00:21:17,250
in his riding of the rolling level underneath him steady air.
277
00:21:18,330 --> 00:21:23,850
And striding Hi there, how he rung upon the reign of a wimping wing and his
ecstasy.
278
00:21:24,860 --> 00:21:29,840
Then off, off fourth on swing as escapes, heels sweeps smooth on a bow
279
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:37,040
Ben the hurl and gliding rebuffed the big wind my heart in hiding stirred
for a bird,
280
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,670
the achieve of the mastery of the thing.
281
00:21:42,170 --> 00:21:45,230
Root beauty and valor and act
282
00:21:45,950 --> 00:21:50,540
Oh air pride plume here buckle and
283
00:21:50,540 --> 00:21:52,400
the fire that breaks from the then
284
00:21:53,120 --> 00:21:56,840
a billion times told lovelier, more dangerous
285
00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:02,810
Oh my Chevalier. No wonder of sheer plod
286
00:22:02,810 --> 00:22:04,940
makes plow down Cillian shine
287
00:22:05,900 --> 00:22:07,400
and blue bleak embers
288
00:22:08,510 --> 00:22:09,950
My dear fall,
289
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,380
call themselves and
290
00:22:12,380 --> 00:22:13,790
gash gold vermillion.
291
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,020
Tomboy those words were just like listening to music
292
00:22:31,070 --> 00:22:32,780
don't really understand what the poet meant.
293
00:22:32,780 --> 00:22:35,000
But I think those
294
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,100
were just about the most beautiful words I ever heard.
295
00:22:37,670 --> 00:22:39,350
Well, I think the poem has a meaning.
296
00:22:41,900 --> 00:22:47,180
To me. It means that some things
297
00:22:49,580 --> 00:22:53,150
which may seem too simple or unimportant
298
00:22:54,470 --> 00:22:55,940
or even just downright plain
299
00:22:58,430 --> 00:23:03,050
plus things are really every bit as important and
300
00:23:03,050 --> 00:23:05,420
every bit as beautiful as the most magnificent things
301
00:23:05,420 --> 00:23:06,260
in the whole world
302
00:23:10,910 --> 00:23:12,020
thank you jamboree.
303
00:23:15,290 --> 00:23:15,890
Happy birthday
304
00:23:20,630 --> 00:23:23,420
there was a there was a line in there
305
00:23:23,420 --> 00:23:25,760
something about my heart.
306
00:23:28,220 --> 00:23:29,900
My heart and hiding stirred
307
00:23:32,060 --> 00:23:33,050
your breath is really.
308
00:23:45,710 --> 00:23:47,630
Popular belief has it that anybody
309
00:23:47,630 --> 00:23:51,020
who's lived 50 or more years is over the hill in every way.
310
00:23:51,690 --> 00:23:53,820
The older person is pictured as cranky,
311
00:23:54,150 --> 00:23:57,660
exhausted, emotionally, economically, sexually
312
00:23:57,660 --> 00:24:01,050
and financially deprived of vitality in general.
313
00:24:01,770 --> 00:24:04,230
Ironically, our population of older people
314
00:24:04,230 --> 00:24:06,360
is growing with leaps and bounds.
315
00:24:06,870 --> 00:24:10,020
Whether we like it or not old age is what we're all headed for.
316
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,220
In this series, our older people have been portrayed as vital,
317
00:24:14,460 --> 00:24:17,490
meaningful and contributing members of the family.
318
00:24:18,090 --> 00:24:21,780
Once John and Olivia considered selling the house and moving away,
319
00:24:22,470 --> 00:24:24,120
one of their main concerns was
320
00:24:24,120 --> 00:24:27,150
how grandma and grandpa might take the news
321
00:24:37,230 --> 00:24:39,060
your hands are a lot better than
322
00:24:39,060 --> 00:24:45,960
any dangle hotspring was 50 years ago
323
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:48,330
I wouldn't missed one minute
324
00:24:48,330 --> 00:24:53,880
have an old girl remember the day
325
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:55,710
we first came up here to this place Esther
326
00:24:57,450 --> 00:24:59,040
shouldn't remember such things
327
00:24:59,820 --> 00:25:01,320
Why not was married wasn't
328
00:25:06,570 --> 00:25:08,430
and that was the day I come running up here
329
00:25:08,430 --> 00:25:10,410
when I found out I was in the family
330
00:25:10,410 --> 00:25:13,050
way scared as a cop
331
00:25:14,910 --> 00:25:16,380
then you found me and everything was
332
00:25:18,270 --> 00:25:21,360
scared to know you
333
00:25:21,360 --> 00:25:24,030
such a tiny little thing all I want to do is to protect you.
334
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,600
Even the moon and all the trimmings and all
335
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,700
I have ever been able to give you just a piece
336
00:25:29,700 --> 00:25:34,080
of this good Earth and one another.
337
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,800
It's about all in one's meant to have
338
00:25:38,610 --> 00:25:39,870
the best there is anyway.
339
00:25:41,850 --> 00:25:43,560
Young people don't know what's important.
340
00:25:44,730 --> 00:25:47,220
Memories. We can't take them.
341
00:25:48,060 --> 00:25:49,530
We've had some good times and we
342
00:26:11,100 --> 00:26:12,570
I want you to come back downstairs.
343
00:26:13,500 --> 00:26:14,880
Got to hear what you have to say.
344
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:16,740
It's only fair.
345
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:21,690
Yeah, that's what I've been thinking about.
346
00:26:22,410 --> 00:26:23,370
Would be fair.
347
00:26:27,660 --> 00:26:29,490
The other day when we had a talk,
348
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,670
he said that by selling the place
349
00:26:32,670 --> 00:26:34,560
you wanted to benefit the children but
350
00:26:37,770 --> 00:26:39,600
I don't think you were really considering these two.
351
00:26:54,090 --> 00:26:57,240
The rest of us the older ones.
352
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,380
I think maybe it wouldn't be so hard for us.
353
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:05,760
We've had this place all our lives.
354
00:27:07,260 --> 00:27:09,600
We have a history here that's made us what we are.
355
00:27:11,130 --> 00:27:13,410
And we have memories of this place
356
00:27:13,410 --> 00:27:16,470
that are so firmly planted in our minds we'll never forget
357
00:27:20,550 --> 00:27:22,140
every breath we've ever taken
358
00:27:22,140 --> 00:27:23,610
is still somewhere in this house.
359
00:27:29,220 --> 00:27:32,790
As long as I live I will never forget the smell of coffee and bacon
360
00:27:32,790 --> 00:27:34,590
drifting upstairs on a winter morning
361
00:27:37,500 --> 00:27:40,290
I'll never forget the sound of your footsteps in the hallway
362
00:27:48,120 --> 00:27:51,660
Daddy, I have a picture in my mind of you that is so clear.
363
00:27:53,250 --> 00:27:56,610
I can just see you walking across the meadow
364
00:27:57,900 --> 00:27:59,520
through a new crusted snow
365
00:28:04,380 --> 00:28:05,790
I'll never forget those things.
366
00:28:07,890 --> 00:28:09,420
I've stood under the kitchen window and
367
00:28:09,420 --> 00:28:12,450
I've listened to the sounds that this family makes at dinner time.
368
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,780
And everyone's talking once and nobody's listening to anybody else
369
00:28:15,780 --> 00:28:18,450
but the sound of that talk is so beautiful.
370
00:28:18,450 --> 00:28:19,920
You just thought to put it to music.
371
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,570
The way it drifts out on the evening air
372
00:28:28,570 --> 00:28:31,450
it's the sounds of this house that I'll never forget
373
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:38,650
especially that one moment when we're all in bed
374
00:28:40,810 --> 00:28:44,320
we're all safe together
375
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:46,780
just before we go to sleep
376
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:50,470
and we say goodnight to each other
377
00:28:50,470 --> 00:29:03,580
here Daddy,
378
00:29:03,580 --> 00:29:05,050
I don't know what kind of Waltons.
379
00:29:05,050 --> 00:29:06,430
These two children would be
380
00:29:07,180 --> 00:29:09,010
if they had to grow up without all that.
381
00:29:10,150 --> 00:29:12,460
And I think really the decision is theirs to make.
382
00:29:26,470 --> 00:29:27,100
us go to bed
383
00:29:32,170 --> 00:29:35,560
the decision of whether to sell the farm or not didn't come until the night
384
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,890
before grandma and grandpa's golden wedding anniversary.
385
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,510
Mr. Varma do with the present.
386
00:30:34,540 --> 00:30:36,490
Oh, hi. That will give a draft to suffer.
387
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:39,940
Don't you dare put a finger to it yet.
388
00:30:41,950 --> 00:30:45,010
You know, there's hardly any water.
389
00:30:45,190 --> 00:30:46,630
Jason is retaining a bath.
390
00:30:46,780 --> 00:30:48,250
We ought to all be getting ready soon.
391
00:30:48,550 --> 00:30:49,900
Daddy will be here with grandma.
392
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,300
Everything looks real nice mama.
393
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,570
I wouldn't mind having Mrs. John Jacobs has to come first.
394
00:30:55,990 --> 00:30:57,370
Yeah, but I'd rather have grandma.
395
00:30:58,030 --> 00:30:58,750
Let's go get rich.
396
00:31:00,130 --> 00:31:03,010
In a moment we returned to our decade of the Waltons.
397
00:31:03,310 --> 00:31:06,310
We will meet Cora Beth Godsey for the first time and
398
00:31:06,310 --> 00:31:10,120
relive the fearsome night when fire ravaged the family home
399
00:31:23,770 --> 00:31:26,440
Wow, wow, what to look pretty well.
400
00:31:26,650 --> 00:31:29,170
Well, thank you. But that cakes gonna look pretty shabby
401
00:31:29,170 --> 00:31:30,730
if you don't stop jabbing your finger in it.
402
00:31:32,050 --> 00:31:33,190
Or we're gonna have to drink with it.
403
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:36,010
What would you like?
404
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:37,740
How about some of the bottom ladies recipe?
405
00:31:38,940 --> 00:31:40,140
Okay, how about some lemonade?
406
00:31:40,470 --> 00:31:42,720
All right, but you'd have to go to the store and get the lemons.
407
00:31:43,020 --> 00:31:46,800
I don't mind. hurry then. Steak. I spend my bacon CORBA
408
00:31:47,460 --> 00:31:48,990
the mom was Corbis really a wall?
409
00:31:49,380 --> 00:31:50,700
Should you follow the second cousin?
410
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,340
Jim Bob This is no time to haul out the family tree
411
00:31:53,340 --> 00:31:54,270
go get those lemons
412
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,650
this lady came by the store and she asked me folks
413
00:32:10,650 --> 00:32:12,750
and I felt I just had to bring her by.
414
00:32:13,980 --> 00:32:17,160
I guess I should have written but I wanted to surprise you.
415
00:32:17,970 --> 00:32:19,260
But doesn't anybody know me?
416
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:20,340

417
00:32:24,150 --> 00:32:25,860

00:32:35,130 --> 00:32:37,290
Doll and wolves are always welcome here.

00:32:37,290 --> 00:32:38,580

John. Boy, I guess you don't remember me? Well,
430
00:33:05,820 --> 00:33:08,070
I remember I used to go by your house when your daddy was sick.
431
00:33:08,070 --> 00:33:10,650
He used to keep a little sack of candies by the bed. I remember that.
432
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:11,610
Just a little boy.
433
00:33:12,270 --> 00:33:13,950
The rest of you hadn't even been father.
434
00:33:15,330 --> 00:33:17,160
He must be wore out from traveling.
435
00:33:17,340 --> 00:33:20,490
My hips are temporary. thing
436
00:33:20,550 --> 00:33:20,850

437
00:33:24,270 --> 00:33:26,490
called Beth, what brings you over Jefferson County.
438
00:33:26,940 --> 00:33:28,530
Mom passed away last month.
439
00:33:28,889 --> 00:33:29,849
Sorry to hear that.
440
00:33:30,500 --> 00:33:34,040
Oh, she must have been I on to at 79
441
00:33:36,230 --> 00:33:39,320
I'm on my way to reach to look for a position and
442
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,240
I thought it only about proper family duty
443
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:42,860
to stop in and see my kin
444
00:33:48,980 --> 00:33:53,270
when are you expected Richmond expected? Oh
445
00:33:54,980 --> 00:33:57,200
no, my time's my own now.
446
00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:58,850
I'm in no hurry.
447
00:33:59,810 --> 00:34:02,210
I don't intend to move back to here.
448
00:34:04,490 --> 00:34:06,140
Everything I own is right here.
449
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,010
I'm much obliged to you Mr. Godsey.
450
00:34:10,010 --> 00:34:13,010
For your kindness. I was very happy to do it.
451
00:34:14,510 --> 00:34:17,180
Not everyone would extend themselves for a stranger.
452
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:22,970
Well, if there's anything else I can do for you to make your visit here
more enjoyable.
453
00:34:22,970 --> 00:34:24,620
You just say the word.
454
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:26,510
Thank you so much.
455
00:34:28,850 --> 00:34:30,200
I spotted you for a gentleman
456
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,030
the minute I walked in your general marketing team
457
00:34:32,030 --> 00:34:39,590
so much
458
00:34:41,030 --> 00:34:42,920
John, it was a pleasure.
459
00:34:43,010 --> 00:34:43,700
We'll see you later
460
00:34:49,550 --> 00:34:53,540
just walking in like this isn't any inconvenience or not at all Corbett.
461
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,610
Last thing I want to be is a burden to anyone.
462
00:34:56,390 --> 00:34:59,630
But I couldn't fit in with your plans.
463
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,770
I certainly would appreciate a chance to rest.
464
00:35:05,279 --> 00:35:06,989
Just stop your friend car Beth.
465
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:09,660
John boy.
466
00:35:10,710 --> 00:35:12,270
Why don't you take her back things up
467
00:35:12,270 --> 00:35:14,670
to your room Jason Gillibrand. Sure.
468
00:35:15,210 --> 00:35:15,930
Oh, dear.
469
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:18,630
dispossessing you for
470
00:35:18,660 --> 00:35:20,130
not really just a guest room
471
00:35:20,130 --> 00:35:22,050
I only stay there when we're not having visited
472
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,440
wonderful looks to me like chaperones
473
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,120
and even more fun the sweet dogs.
474
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,640
Well, I tried but he kept saying things
475
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:37,740
that just didn't make any sense at all.
476
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:39,780
You don't have to make sense to be Corten
477
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:42,480
Corbett didn't give me any encouragement
478
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:43,410
no matter what he said.
479
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:44,700
I feel sorry for
480
00:35:45,300 --> 00:35:47,100
now so to why but that doesn't mean
481
00:35:47,100 --> 00:35:48,930
I wonder living in the same room with me.
482
00:35:51,270 --> 00:35:52,710
Quebec what's wrong? What happened?
483
00:36:18,330 --> 00:36:19,920
Corbis was all out of lemons.
484
00:36:20,580 --> 00:36:21,600
Just wonderful.
485
00:36:21,630 --> 00:36:23,460
I guess we'll just have to have some recipe there.
486
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,120
Jim Bob. This keeps up
487
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,220
I'm gonna have to go on another sit down strike.
488
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,890
Oh, I remember the first one you went on
489
00:36:37,940 --> 00:36:39,230
Have you ever heard a loop of Burbank
490
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,890
It seems I ran across his name helped run a YouTube with your homework
491
00:36:42,950 --> 00:36:45,440
just in Burbank live over on the road to rock fish
492
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,470
no grammar this guy was a scientist he experimented with crossing plants
493
00:36:48,470 --> 00:36:50,150
your crops won't plant within the plant and
494
00:36:50,150 --> 00:36:53,090
meet all kinds of new plants vegetables proven on the Lord's work
495
00:36:53,090 --> 00:36:55,430
Mary Ellen acrossing cucumber with watermelon
496
00:36:55,490 --> 00:36:58,310
whatever for can you imagine the giant pickles
497
00:36:58,370 --> 00:36:59,780
Oh good lord carry on.
498
00:36:59,780 --> 00:37:01,250
You were supposed to mop this flog
499
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,010
I'll tell you right now more I did it.
500
00:37:04,460 --> 00:37:05,990
Well, I'm sorry. I just forgot

they were just getting a good start.
504
00:37:26,060 --> 00:37:29,690
It's not your fault. I guess I had a chance to stall door open
505
00:37:29,720 --> 00:37:31,490
Elizabeth I have told you and told you
506
00:37:33,530 --> 00:37:35,360

can ever speak to us again.
517
00:38:20,510 --> 00:38:22,760
It's going on in here. All of a sudden,
518
00:38:23,150 --> 00:38:25,070
let me begin to act short it peculiar,
519
00:38:25,100 --> 00:38:26,090
peculiar.
520
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:28,310
Nobody does the chores they're supposed to do
521
00:38:28,310 --> 00:38:31,370
so I end up doing them and then reckless comes in and ruins everything.
522
00:38:32,990 --> 00:38:37,670
Stinger aggravated live. We all simmer down and talk this over
523
00:38:37,700 --> 00:38:39,710

00:38:46,100 --> 00:38:46,970
I'm doing it.
527
00:38:48,350 --> 00:38:49,160
What's that?
528
00:38:49,970 --> 00:38:53,240
I'm staging my own personal sit down strike.
529
00:38:53,300 --> 00:38:56,570
Oh, she's having a sit down strike. Grandpa.
530
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:57,860
What's a sit down strike.
531
00:38:58,340 --> 00:39:00,020
These fellows in Detroit started it
532
00:39:00,020 --> 00:39:03,140
they sort of plunk themselves down in the middle of things
533
00:39:03,140 --> 00:39:05,330
and they don't budge till they get it arbitrated on
534
00:39:05,330 --> 00:39:06,830
and get what they want.
535
00:39:09,620 --> 00:39:12,290
What do you want mama? I want better working conditions.
536
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,510
No more excuses and a little cooperation.
537
00:39:17,030 --> 00:39:28,610
Well now we're ready to arbitrate.
538
00:39:33,020 --> 00:39:35,300
A house is more than walls and floors,
539
00:39:35,330 --> 00:39:36,680
a ceiling and a roof.
540
00:39:37,340 --> 00:39:39,140
It's all the words that were spoken.
541
00:39:39,140 --> 00:39:41,900
They're all the cries and whispers
542
00:39:42,230 --> 00:39:44,270
all the good times and the bad.
543
00:39:49,430 --> 00:39:50,120
Smoke
544
00:40:09,980 --> 00:40:10,490
Wake up
545
00:41:03,470 --> 00:41:03,770
what's up
546
00:41:13,010 --> 00:41:13,460
everybody
547
00:41:55,670 --> 00:42:37,340
You fire was the most frightening thing
548
00:42:37,340 --> 00:42:38,900
we've ever been through on the mountain
549
00:42:39,410 --> 00:42:41,360
this room had suffered the least damage
550
00:42:41,570 --> 00:42:43,940
so while all the children were given a place to stay
551
00:42:43,940 --> 00:42:46,820
with friends and neighbors the grown ups stayed here
552
00:42:47,150 --> 00:42:49,430
spend our whole lives trying to raise our kids and
553
00:42:49,430 --> 00:42:53,870
give them a proper home and how they're scattered
554
00:42:53,870 --> 00:42:55,280
to the winds and the house is nothing
555
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:55,940
but a shell
556
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:00,080
honey there's nothing gone
557
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:01,280
we can't replace
558
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:06,620
we had hard times even from the beginning
559
00:43:06,620 --> 00:43:07,820
and we got through some
560
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:12,380
but here we are still stumbling
561
00:43:12,380 --> 00:43:14,660
and picking ourselves up over and over.
562
00:43:17,210 --> 00:43:18,800
pick myself up anymore
563
00:43:23,300 --> 00:43:24,410
overtired Honey
564
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:28,760
Let's see if we get a good night's rest.
565
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:31,670
Maybe tomorrow things won't look so grim.
566
00:43:33,530 --> 00:43:34,280
We'll get through
567
00:43:36,350 --> 00:43:40,880
we're always looking for a way to get through a person
568
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:42,080
wonder why we struggle so
569
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:46,430
maybe you're not listening to me.
570
00:43:48,380 --> 00:43:52,760
I got two good strong hand strong back
571
00:43:55,910 --> 00:43:58,370
I'll put this place back together for you again
572
00:44:04,100 --> 00:44:07,190
you know you probably made a big mistake
573
00:44:07,190 --> 00:44:08,210
a long time ago.
574
00:44:14,870 --> 00:44:17,870
Right now you could be married to ostracod Graham.
575
00:44:18,980 --> 00:44:21,020
Be the wife of the state senator
576
00:44:21,020 --> 00:44:23,420
living in the lap of luxury Dan Richmond way.
577
00:44:25,250 --> 00:44:27,650
Love Oscar Koco sides
578
00:44:27,650 --> 00:44:29,000
he married Dodi Roberts.
579
00:44:29,690 --> 00:44:30,860
Here Dodi left him.
580
00:44:33,890 --> 00:44:35,870
With this go down to the courthouse tomorrow.
581
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:39,860
Get me a divorce and go chase and have to ask a cook.
582
00:44:41,450 --> 00:44:41,960
You see.
583
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:45,290
Daughter things would look better tomorrow.
584
00:44:53,910 --> 00:44:56,370
Elizabeth had been more deeply affected by the fire
585
00:44:56,370 --> 00:44:57,330
than anyone knew.
586
00:44:57,990 --> 00:44:59,820
Even after the house had been rebuilt
587
00:45:00,210 --> 00:45:01,530
She was afraid to come home.
588
00:45:02,910 --> 00:45:03,480
Elizabeth.
589
00:45:05,310 --> 00:45:06,030
Elizabeth
590
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:09,030
Why did you have to find me here?
591
00:45:09,510 --> 00:45:10,740
You can't sleep up here.
592
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:13,200
Why not?
593
00:45:15,540 --> 00:45:25,830
All by yourself, but I want to thinking about the firearm.
594
00:45:28,230 --> 00:45:29,460
It's not going to happen again.
595
00:45:29,940 --> 00:45:31,320
There's no reason to be afraid.
596
00:45:32,700 --> 00:45:35,670
I'm not afraid. Then why are you acting this way?
597
00:45:35,670 --> 00:45:37,860
Don't you know how much you're worrying your mama?
598
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:40,050
I don't want my wife to worry.
599
00:45:40,470 --> 00:45:41,400
Well, she is worried.
600
00:45:42,570 --> 00:45:44,190
And she's worried because she cares about you
601
00:45:44,190 --> 00:45:46,170
and I don't understand it but lately you've been acting
602
00:45:46,170 --> 00:45:48,120
as though you don't care about her or anybody.
603
00:45:48,660 --> 00:45:51,270
I don't I don't care Elizabeth
604
00:45:52,110 --> 00:45:54,930
I give her to care about anyone or anything ever again.
605
00:45:55,530 --> 00:45:57,060
You don't mean that he's
606
00:45:57,060 --> 00:45:59,280
I do job why do whatever I care
607
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:00,540
terrible things happen
608
00:46:02,850 --> 00:46:03,960
what terrible things
609
00:46:08,070 --> 00:46:12,240
Luciana was my best friend Lucy got Calico
610
00:46:12,240 --> 00:46:14,220
the mama cat raccoon?
611
00:46:14,670 --> 00:46:17,670
I butterfly it always happens to your boy always.
612
00:46:19,020 --> 00:46:23,220
Whenever I love somebody that dives is that a word?
613
00:46:23,250 --> 00:46:26,130
You are any or anybody to die?
614
00:46:28,290 --> 00:46:30,360
I was fine. We're all fine.
615
00:46:31,110 --> 00:46:33,630
Now I'm scared y'all boy
616
00:46:51,420 --> 00:46:53,490
sometimes you do lose people that you love
617
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:57,330
that's a hard thing.
618
00:47:00,180 --> 00:47:01,890
But it doesn't happen because you love them.
619
00:47:02,820 --> 00:47:05,040
It just happens cuz
620
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:06,120
it's part of nature.
621
00:47:08,610 --> 00:47:11,340
You can't keep somebody safe by pretending not to love them
622
00:47:11,340 --> 00:47:12,810
it just doesn't work believe me.
623
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:15,000
Everybody's afraid
624
00:47:18,180 --> 00:47:18,840
everybody
625
00:47:23,220 --> 00:47:28,200
the best way I know to get over it is just to put myself
626
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:30,330
smack dab in the middle of people that I do love
627
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:32,070
people to love me
628
00:47:34,350 --> 00:47:35,970
it seems to make it all worthwhile
629
00:47:38,100 --> 00:47:40,320
Why don't you try that this other thing didn't work did it?
630
00:47:54,150 --> 00:47:56,130
drove all the way down likes no sign
631
00:47:56,130 --> 00:47:57,930
never didn't care on the road anyway.
632
00:47:58,950 --> 00:47:59,790
What can we do?
633
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:06,360
You said you've been able to visit bits home
634
00:48:14,010 --> 00:48:15,630
We were so worried about you.
635
00:48:17,700 --> 00:48:19,290
Are you sure it was Daddy pulled up
636
00:48:20,010 --> 00:48:21,390
was a surprise.
637
00:48:22,980 --> 00:48:24,000
We weren't expecting him.
638
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:25,260
I hope everybody's home
639
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:37,110
during grandma's birthday party
640
00:48:37,260 --> 00:48:39,810
will journey back in time to Waltons mountain
641
00:48:40,110 --> 00:48:42,210
visit with members of our cast and
642
00:48:42,210 --> 00:48:45,120
then traveled to Virginia where all these stories began
643
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:46,290
many years ago.
644
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:56,920
It's time for the evening meal, a very special one for its grandma's
birthday.
645
00:48:57,550 --> 00:49:01,120
In other parts of the country, it's cold in a we called it supper,
646
00:49:01,570 --> 00:49:04,450
a time to visit to exchange information
647
00:49:04,660 --> 00:49:07,090
to catch up on all that had happened during the day.
648
00:49:07,330 --> 00:49:09,700
And to give thanks for all our blessings.
649
00:49:10,690 --> 00:49:14,260
Heavenly Father, we ask your blessing on this food
650
00:49:14,830 --> 00:49:16,240
and on those who partake of it.
651
00:49:17,170 --> 00:49:21,580
We especially ask your blessing on one of your most devoted daughters,
Esther Walton.
652
00:49:22,570 --> 00:49:24,220
We are grateful for the love and strength
653
00:49:24,220 --> 00:49:26,440
she's brought to this family down through the years.
654
00:49:27,070 --> 00:49:28,750
Amen. Amen.
655
00:49:31,060 --> 00:49:34,300
All right, let's get started. Take some of those pieces.
656
00:49:34,300 --> 00:49:36,190
I've been looking through some old snapshots today
657
00:49:36,190 --> 00:49:37,870
and I ran across some pictures of my wedding.
658
00:49:37,870 --> 00:49:39,070
I didn't even know I had
659
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:42,310
too bad you didn't find any about what happened before the wedding.
660
00:49:42,700 --> 00:49:45,160
It's a one to any of us survived everything that led up to it.
661
00:49:45,490 --> 00:49:48,970
Well, if it isn't Dr. Willard, nice of you to return
662
00:49:49,180 --> 00:49:53,230
would have been even nicer if you'd let us know you were leaving Mary Ellen
steers
663
00:49:53,230 --> 00:49:55,150
sweet, gentle Mary Ellen.
664
00:49:55,990 --> 00:49:58,030
It sure is great to be back.
665
00:49:58,750 --> 00:50:00,010
And I did let you know
666
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:04,930
Maryland I've he left a letter last Sunday morning.
667
00:50:05,890 --> 00:50:07,990
I didn't want him to come between you and David
668
00:50:07,990 --> 00:50:13,000
so so I burned it. Aaron.
669
00:50:13,930 --> 00:50:16,150
So okay, it's, it's all over
670
00:50:16,150 --> 00:50:19,570
now You stay out of this, Kurt. How could you do that? Aaron?
671
00:50:19,900 --> 00:50:21,640
I didn't want the wedding spoiled.
672
00:50:22,870 --> 00:50:25,030
I saw you kissing last Saturday night
673
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:32,080
I didn't mean a thing.
674
00:50:32,240 --> 00:50:34,160
Well, I hope it did Mary Ellen,
675
00:50:35,090 --> 00:50:36,530
because I'm gonna marry you.
676
00:50:38,750 --> 00:50:40,730
I suppose you call that a proposal,
677
00:50:40,850 --> 00:50:43,340
the best one you're gonna get from me? Well, I wouldn't
678
00:50:43,340 --> 00:50:46,790
marry you, Curtis Willard, if you were the last man on earth.
679
00:50:47,420 --> 00:50:51,710
Do you Curtis, take this woman to be your true and lawful wife ?
680
00:50:54,230 --> 00:50:57,050
I do unto you, Mary Ellen,
681
00:50:57,380 --> 00:51:00,050
take this man to be your true and lawful husband.
682
00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:05,720
I do. And now by the authority vested in me,
683
00:51:06,230 --> 00:51:08,780
as the minister of the gospel by the Old Dominion,
684
00:51:09,740 --> 00:51:12,650
and in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
685
00:51:13,220 --> 00:51:16,880
I pronounce you man and wife, therefore,
686
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:18,800
whom God has joined together,
687
00:51:19,340 --> 00:51:20,870
let not man put a son
688
00:51:28,430 --> 00:51:32,510
it was always a great satisfaction for grandma to be with her grown
grandchildren,
689
00:51:32,750 --> 00:51:35,810
and to recall the role she played in their younger years.
690
00:51:36,170 --> 00:51:38,780
Like the time she prepared her eldest grandson
691
00:51:38,930 --> 00:51:41,900
to preach a sermon in Reverend FoodWorks absence.
692
00:51:43,910 --> 00:51:48,590
You just sit there, and make out like you're in church.
693
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:50,480
All right.
694
00:51:56,660 --> 00:51:59,780
For thou art and unto shalt thou return.
695
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:02,720
You see, that way you get their attention right off,
696
00:52:02,720 --> 00:52:03,860
and that's very important.
697
00:52:05,330 --> 00:52:06,200
Sure works.
698
00:52:10,550 --> 00:52:13,130
You remember when God got so mad at Adam,
699
00:52:13,130 --> 00:52:16,400
and all that promotion about Adam and Eve and eating the forbidden fruit?
700
00:52:16,820 --> 00:52:17,480
I remember,
701
00:52:18,050 --> 00:52:21,680
I thought you might like to talk against original sin.
702
00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:28,760
And when it goes on from there, you know,
703
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:32,050
and that all that began went on for the longest time,
704
00:52:32,110 --> 00:52:36,220
I believe people the earth, and you you know what people are?
705
00:52:37,210 --> 00:52:40,630
Yeah. And, and God saw the wickedness,
706
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:41,980
excuse me.
707
00:52:45,340 --> 00:52:48,820
And God saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth.
708
00:52:49,450 --> 00:52:53,530
And all the imaginations of his thought of his heart
709
00:52:53,980 --> 00:52:56,440
was nothing but evil, continually.
710
00:52:57,790 --> 00:52:59,560
And when I skipped the verse there,
711
00:53:00,010 --> 00:53:02,290
and God said, I will destroy man
712
00:53:02,290 --> 00:53:04,960
who I have created from the face of the earth.
713
00:53:05,830 --> 00:53:08,380
Except Noah, now he walked with God.
714
00:53:10,720 --> 00:53:12,130
You're still in Genesis, aren't you?
715
00:53:13,030 --> 00:53:16,540
Yeah, well, then, then came the flood, the ark, the animals, and
716
00:53:16,540 --> 00:53:18,340
then all that begotten started again.
717
00:53:18,340 --> 00:53:23,740
So, so I skipped if that will do
718
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:27,400
if it goes into your
719
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:28,720
to do that on the publisher,
720
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:33,280
about do which is evil, be afraid.
721
00:53:33,610 --> 00:53:36,100
Now evil is one of those words you can drive home.
722
00:53:36,370 --> 00:53:39,190
And vengeance is another way. Vengeance is Mine
723
00:53:39,190 --> 00:53:41,680
say a Vengeance is mine.
724
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:43,690
I will repay saith the Lord.
725
00:53:46,690 --> 00:53:49,270
It's all here for your study.
726
00:53:51,130 --> 00:53:53,830
We you know I've missed in the Gospel most all my life.
727
00:53:54,430 --> 00:53:58,360
And when I was a girl, we used to go to what they call protracted meetings
728
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:00,160
where the preaching went on for a whole week.
729
00:54:00,550 --> 00:54:02,740
And sometimes we have a dozen preachers in
730
00:54:02,740 --> 00:54:06,670
and are more well Reverend for it, because all right.
731
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:09,910
I liked those old time preachers.
732
00:54:10,540 --> 00:54:14,560
And what I did was I just took the best of everything they they said
733
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:20,090
and I put it down for you,
734
00:54:20,090 --> 00:54:27,140
John to hurt your hand.
735
00:54:28,670 --> 00:54:29,900
Well, it didn't work out.
736
00:54:30,110 --> 00:54:32,180
It's you know,
737
00:54:32,180 --> 00:54:34,700
maybe you would have practiced that Paladin
738
00:54:34,700 --> 00:54:37,040
because there must be a knack of doing it right.
739
00:54:38,540 --> 00:54:38,960
Or well
740
00:54:47,630 --> 00:54:49,550
dang is a law of kindness.
741
00:54:50,090 --> 00:54:55,460
Proverbs 31 Verse 26 is all about a richest woman.
742
00:54:55,790 --> 00:54:58,760
Her price is far above that of Ruby.
743
00:55:01,090 --> 00:55:03,370
You know what everybody thinking back and remembering lately,
744
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:06,070
I find myself doing the same thing the other day,
745
00:55:06,820 --> 00:55:09,730
I was working over the forage and staring at those red hot coals.
746
00:55:10,540 --> 00:55:13,390
And I remember the time that John Boyle was trying to warn everybody
747
00:55:13,390 --> 00:55:15,460
about what Hitler was doing over in Europe.
748
00:55:16,750 --> 00:55:19,000
Or the way things turned out as one and nobody would listen to.
749
00:55:20,140 --> 00:55:22,180
Everybody knows but burning their
750
00:55:22,180 --> 00:55:24,520
can find your anything you're looking for.
751
00:55:25,450 --> 00:55:28,360
It's most appropriate that he found for me,
752
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:30,130
a real piece of junk.
753
00:55:31,240 --> 00:55:32,170
Mind come.
754
00:55:34,150 --> 00:55:38,410
I propose that tonight we have a symbolic foot
755
00:55:38,410 --> 00:55:39,670
burnin of our own.
756
00:55:40,900 --> 00:55:44,230
Hitler may replace the Bible with his own book in Germany,
757
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:46,330
but it shall never happen here.
758
00:55:49,720 --> 00:55:53,770
When I was in it, I found a whole bundle of German books.
759
00:55:55,300 --> 00:55:58,180
I just had him to keep the fire warm.
760
00:55:59,500 --> 00:56:00,160
John boys
761
00:56:01,810 --> 00:56:02,860
to stop that right now.
762
00:56:03,430 --> 00:56:04,660
Hold on, you're young.
763
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:07,150
I didn't mean to go this. Boy.
764
00:56:07,570 --> 00:56:08,320
Your hand off me.
765
00:56:10,030 --> 00:56:13,420
This is my phone. I started this whole thing with my newspaper.
766
00:56:13,420 --> 00:56:13,990
I know that.
767
00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:16,630
But you misunderstood me.
768
00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:19,660
I was trying to show you what people are capable of out of ignorance
769
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:21,550
and out of fear and out of hatred.
770
00:56:21,820 --> 00:56:24,400
Do you realize that this kind of thing is happening all over Germany,
771
00:56:25,180 --> 00:56:28,210
all over Germany. And right now Germany and Walton's Mountain
772
00:56:28,210 --> 00:56:29,830
are not very far apart in my mind.
773
00:56:31,780 --> 00:56:36,820
Read that a foreign tyrant was publishing his plans to take over the world
774
00:56:36,940 --> 00:56:38,200
and was carrying out those plans
775
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:40,300
I thought you ought to have the opportunity to know about it.
776
00:56:41,140 --> 00:56:43,840
Just like I take the opportunity to tell you if there was a blight
777
00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:47,020
that was threatening your crops or some kind of scandal that was
threatening your government
778
00:56:47,230 --> 00:56:49,840
that's freedom as far as I can see it and
779
00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:51,100
if you choose not to know about it,
780
00:56:51,100 --> 00:56:54,400
that's freedom to but if you take a book and if you burn this book,
781
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:57,700
then you can't know about it. And you had your freedom taken away from you
782
00:56:57,700 --> 00:56:58,750
you understand me?
783
00:56:59,920 --> 00:57:04,480
Or if there's anybody here who feels that this book is more dangerous in
one piece
784
00:57:04,570 --> 00:57:06,640
and it is burning ashes in that fight and
785
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:08,920
I want you to come up here I want you to take it out of my hand
786
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:10,960
I want you to throw it in the fire right now
787
00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:15,070
in the fire
788
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:51,040
I wish there was someone here could read Burma
789
00:58:01,150 --> 00:58:02,860
Burma, will you read this task please?
790
00:58:10,150 --> 00:58:16,510
Shoot, got him on the air on the air day version.
791
00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:21,610
And a spa Finster of GTA
792
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:24,750
five. Now you read that for something,
793
00:58:25,110 --> 00:58:25,530
just that.
794
00:58:28,170 --> 00:58:31,620
In the beginning, God created heaven and earth.
795
00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:34,800
And the earth was without form.
796
00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:39,120
And void and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
797
00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:42,270
And the Spirit of God
798
00:58:42,840 --> 00:58:44,880
moved upon the face of the waters
799
00:58:46,980 --> 00:58:50,370
and God spoke let that be.
800
00:59:30,330 --> 00:59:32,010
This book should be in good hands,
801
00:59:32,010 --> 00:59:34,140
John boy, both of them
802
00:59:43,710 --> 00:59:45,630
the power of words is something to behold.
803
00:59:46,590 --> 00:59:49,020
I realized why John boy wanted to become a writer.
804
00:59:49,770 --> 00:59:51,990
That's when I started to prepare myself for the moment
805
00:59:51,990 --> 00:59:53,400
when he'd strike out on his own.
806
00:59:54,210 --> 00:59:57,120
After that trip to New York, I knew we wouldn't be around here much longer.
807
01:00:03,030 --> 01:00:06,030
It's getting chilly. Winter is coming on
808
01:00:07,530 --> 01:00:09,150
while these find South
809
01:00:09,150 --> 01:00:11,310
any day now. Sound boy
810
01:00:11,310 --> 01:00:12,630
you're off quiet now
811
01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:16,350
I got a lot on the mind
812
01:00:19,950 --> 01:00:21,690
nothing has ever stirred me up in my whole life
813
01:00:21,690 --> 01:00:23,310
like seeing that city for the first time
814
01:00:26,550 --> 01:00:29,910
I reckon if you were born there you might take it for granted
815
01:00:32,730 --> 01:00:33,810
being a country boy
816
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:36,900
it's a love affair right from the start
817
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:42,030
just being on that island
818
01:00:43,770 --> 01:00:48,000
kidney such a feeling of promise and adventure.
819
01:00:50,670 --> 01:00:52,980
Like the wildest things I ever dreamed in my whole life
820
01:00:52,980 --> 01:00:54,960
could happen.
821
01:00:57,930 --> 01:01:00,570
There's a hotel called the Algonquin.
822
01:01:02,100 --> 01:01:05,610
And that's where a lot of really great writers get together
823
01:01:09,690 --> 01:01:15,270
I stood across the street for a long time and
824
01:01:15,270 --> 01:01:18,390
I'm not sure but I think I saw Dorothy Parker and Robert Benchley come out
825
01:01:18,390 --> 01:01:19,470
and get into a taxi cab
826
01:01:28,770 --> 01:01:30,870
same sky looking down on Times Square
827
01:01:30,870 --> 01:01:32,850
but it seems like a whole different world to me
828
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:44,550
and to you young folks feel about your firstborn
829
01:01:44,550 --> 01:01:45,420
flying the coop
830
01:01:49,500 --> 01:01:51,720
I don't think we get in the state but even if we tried
831
01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:02,760
I've been meaning to well
832
01:02:04,320 --> 01:02:05,460
there's no need to son
833
01:02:12,990 --> 01:02:13,770
better get busy
834
01:02:13,770 --> 01:02:14,730
done and you suck
835
01:02:17,310 --> 01:02:18,870
because one of them it doesn't have a whole
836
01:02:27,630 --> 01:02:29,250
don't get your way home son
837
01:02:32,550 --> 01:02:33,210
I never will.
838
01:03:44,280 --> 01:03:47,520
I deadly Walton's Mountain to live and work in New York City.
839
01:03:48,210 --> 01:03:51,060
I wrote more novels raised a family of my own.
840
01:03:51,780 --> 01:03:53,580
Today we live in California.
841
01:03:53,910 --> 01:03:57,000
But no matter where I am the call of a nightbird
842
01:03:57,000 --> 01:04:01,080
the rumble of a train crossing a trestle, the center of crab apple,
843
01:04:01,290 --> 01:04:04,320
the lowing of a sleepy cow can call me home again.
844
01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:08,340
In memory I stand before that small white house and
845
01:04:08,340 --> 01:04:11,820
I can still hear those sweet voices in our mama.
846
01:04:13,620 --> 01:04:18,240
That's your mama named Kim Bob.
847
01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:19,380
Knight grandpa.
848
01:04:21,390 --> 01:04:23,490
Jason, my grandpa.
849
01:04:23,940 --> 01:04:25,830
My daddy would know Jason,
850
01:04:26,460 --> 01:04:27,420
not Elizabeth.
851
01:04:28,230 --> 01:04:34,950
Daddy Good night.
852
01:04:37,470 --> 01:04:37,830
I love you.
853
01:04:41,880 --> 01:04:44,940
Our decade of the Waltons will continue in just a moment.
854
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:54,960
Working on this all week,
855
01:04:54,930 --> 01:04:57,210
we had a lot of fun with myself.
856
01:05:03,090 --> 01:05:05,280
This was the first picture is grandma that's the front
857
01:05:05,310 --> 01:05:05,880
here we go
858
01:05:18,210 --> 01:05:20,130
we all have special memories of grandpa.
859
01:05:20,820 --> 01:05:23,130
My favorite is one I don't think you even know about grandma
860
01:05:24,180 --> 01:05:26,250
was when you were in the hospital after your stroke
861
01:05:28,110 --> 01:05:32,790
oh that Paula MaryAlice you can come out from behind that foliage
862
01:05:32,790 --> 01:05:35,220
Zeb I'd know you anywhere come on both of you out
863
01:05:37,050 --> 01:05:38,310
to behave himself Kurt.
864
01:05:38,550 --> 01:05:40,800
I don't care what he promised he's not allowed in here.
865
01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:44,230
Esther and I have been together for over 50 years
866
01:05:44,230 --> 01:05:46,330
to good times and bad times and
867
01:05:46,330 --> 01:05:47,440
you're trying to keep us apart
868
01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:49,480
just when we need one another most
869
01:05:49,720 --> 01:05:51,040
I don't have any choice
870
01:05:51,040 --> 01:05:54,010
grandma's got to have quiet if she's going to get well
871
01:05:55,840 --> 01:05:58,570
you whatever happened families that took care of one another
872
01:05:59,140 --> 01:06:02,020
time was born at home got sick at home
873
01:06:02,290 --> 01:06:05,440
was taken care of at home but but people would love one another
874
01:06:05,470 --> 01:06:08,080
they died at home too because
875
01:06:08,080 --> 01:06:10,870
they didn't have doctors on duty 24 hours a day
876
01:06:10,870 --> 01:06:13,000
and nurses and modern medical equipment
877
01:06:13,420 --> 01:06:16,570
sab you gotta give up Esther long enough to let us make her well
878
01:06:18,250 --> 01:06:22,360
all right. If you in this hospital couldn't pick over for me.
879
01:06:23,080 --> 01:06:24,610
You better do a first class job.
880
01:06:26,050 --> 01:06:27,130
First class
881
01:06:31,900 --> 01:06:33,970
have much patience for rules and regulations.
882
01:06:33,970 --> 01:06:35,110
It didn't make sense to him.
883
01:06:35,710 --> 01:06:38,470
Some of his grandchildren can be just as stubborn
884
01:06:38,770 --> 01:06:40,210
Why are you looking at me Mama?
885
01:06:40,360 --> 01:06:45,250
Oh for about 10,000 reasons I'd say like the time you were determined to
have your baby at home
886
01:06:45,250 --> 01:06:46,960
when Kurt thought you should go to the hospital
887
01:06:47,980 --> 01:07:02,500
oh snap
888
01:07:02,500 --> 01:07:03,760
has gone on for too long
889
01:07:04,110 --> 01:07:07,260
it's not going away with the boys dilation
890
01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:08,520
the deuces?
891
01:07:26,100 --> 01:07:28,680
Jam I hate waiting I always have
892
01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:30,240
miserable isn't it
893
01:07:31,410 --> 01:07:33,540
I use take comfort new saying
894
01:07:33,540 --> 01:07:36,540
they also serve only stand and
895
01:07:36,540 --> 01:07:38,940
wait only I never could figure it out
896
01:07:40,290 --> 01:07:42,960
we've had a lot of experience and we pop between us
897
01:07:43,770 --> 01:07:45,060
sure hey I wanted this time
898
01:07:45,060 --> 01:07:46,620
he was a grand and I'm agreed
899
01:07:49,890 --> 01:07:52,770
he's either their son
900
01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:57,600
all of us hoped ease the pain of a loved one
901
01:07:57,720 --> 01:07:59,220
that's almost impossible.
902
01:08:00,450 --> 01:08:03,690
You know you gave life you live very early in
903
01:08:03,690 --> 01:08:07,350
their pain is very much a part of life
904
01:08:20,010 --> 01:08:20,880
can you grant
905
01:08:29,670 --> 01:08:31,350
in real life, Ellen Corby,
906
01:08:31,350 --> 01:08:34,140
who plays grandma had suffered a severe stroke.
907
01:08:34,590 --> 01:08:38,610
Her speech had been affected, and she was paralyzed on her right side.
908
01:08:39,150 --> 01:08:41,670
But Ellen like grandma fought back,
909
01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:44,730
she learned to speak again and to walk and
910
01:08:44,730 --> 01:08:46,830
after an absence of nearly two years,
911
01:08:47,010 --> 01:08:48,540
Grandma came home
912
01:08:49,500 --> 01:08:51,570
in trying to make things easy for grandma
913
01:08:51,630 --> 01:08:54,030
the family mostly made her feel like an invalid
914
01:08:54,480 --> 01:08:56,610
and that was the last thing she wanted to be
915
01:08:59,760 --> 01:09:00,930
Can I interrupt in something
916
01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:03,030
Oh Ah is
917
01:09:09,420 --> 01:09:11,490
that you might want to help me snap some beans
918
01:09:17,550 --> 01:09:19,980
got a nice heavy company for sitting down to us
919
01:09:19,980 --> 01:09:20,160
but
920
01:09:27,660 --> 01:09:29,340
it's more than one way to skin a cat
921
01:09:34,320 --> 01:09:35,670
there's no need to rush grandma.
922
01:09:36,270 --> 01:09:37,740
They call morning if you want to.
923
01:09:40,140 --> 01:09:41,790
suit me
924
01:09:42,390 --> 01:09:44,040
all afternoon for that matter.
925
01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:52,020
Meet me.
926
01:09:52,920 --> 01:09:53,850
Don't get upset.
927
01:09:54,150 --> 01:09:55,320
You don't have to rush it
928
01:09:57,870 --> 01:10:00,030
took me a long time when I had polio.
929
01:10:00,030 --> 01:10:01,860
Before I could put one foot in front of the other
930
01:10:01,860 --> 01:10:02,940
without thinking about it
931
01:10:08,550 --> 01:10:10,470
do to
932
01:10:10,950 --> 01:10:12,420
me sorry, grandma.
933
01:10:13,560 --> 01:10:17,280
Me, me. Me need you.
934
01:10:17,370 --> 01:10:20,160
Yes. Oh grandma's we do need you
935
01:10:20,370 --> 01:10:21,780
to me
936
01:10:23,820 --> 01:10:27,630
don't think anybody needs you OTV
937
01:10:27,900 --> 01:10:29,100
Me me me
938
01:10:35,730 --> 01:10:36,360
it's all
939
01:10:37,560 --> 01:10:39,210
it's alright crap
940
01:10:51,120 --> 01:10:53,520
he's been writing this journal for a long time now.
941
01:10:54,630 --> 01:10:56,190
I never once looked into it.
942
01:10:57,390 --> 01:10:59,910
But there comes a time when the secret isn't a secret anymore.
943
01:11:01,020 --> 01:11:02,940
I'm hoping I might find out from here. What?
944
01:11:03,330 --> 01:11:04,590
What was wrong with your mom?
945
01:11:05,130 --> 01:11:06,120
What did you find out?
946
01:11:07,830 --> 01:11:08,400
Right here.
947
01:11:09,330 --> 01:11:11,730
Just a few days before she'd come home from the hospital.
948
01:11:12,390 --> 01:11:14,190
She she wrote down.
949
01:11:15,840 --> 01:11:19,830
I have come to realize that my loss of speech is punishment
950
01:11:20,160 --> 01:11:22,710
for having been shocked and in the past.
951
01:11:24,220 --> 01:11:27,100
I have made a solemn promise to the Lord
952
01:11:27,640 --> 01:11:29,470
that if he allows me to go home,
953
01:11:29,860 --> 01:11:33,340
I will always be uncomplaining that my family and
954
01:11:33,340 --> 01:11:37,600
friends and not forced my opinions on others.
955
01:11:40,330 --> 01:11:42,160
That is exactly what she's been doing.
956
01:11:42,760 --> 01:11:44,500
Always smile on the grill.
957
01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:45,970
Never complaining.
958
01:11:46,660 --> 01:11:48,340
No wonder she can't talk.
959
01:11:48,550 --> 01:11:49,990
She got it all locked up here
960
01:12:06,250 --> 01:12:08,710
but kind of a promise you made if you don't get mad
961
01:12:08,710 --> 01:12:11,230
when I've been prying into your most private thoughts.
962
01:12:12,130 --> 01:12:14,380
I've seen the time I did a thing like this
963
01:12:14,380 --> 01:12:16,330
you to hold off and what to me was the first thing
964
01:12:16,330 --> 01:12:17,560
you could get your hands on.
965
01:12:41,500 --> 01:12:42,100
Governor Newsom
966
01:12:42,100 --> 01:12:45,100
You never did make a promise
967
01:12:45,100 --> 01:12:45,790
you didn't keep
968
01:12:47,470 --> 01:12:50,380
No grandpa I think we're all kind of guilty of over protecting.
969
01:12:50,650 --> 01:12:53,680
Are you talking about we have treated her like a queen.
970
01:12:53,860 --> 01:12:54,940
More like an invalid.
971
01:12:56,050 --> 01:12:59,410
Chevron that oh raka every time she tries to do something
972
01:12:59,410 --> 01:13:01,150
somebody rushes in to give her a hand.
973
01:13:01,480 --> 01:13:03,490
She might as well not even get out of bed in the morning.
974
01:13:03,580 --> 01:13:05,560
Just trying to do what's best for live.
975
01:13:06,730 --> 01:13:08,170
When you're older, you need to feel
976
01:13:08,170 --> 01:13:10,870
like you're good for something like you need it.
977
01:13:11,200 --> 01:13:12,880
We've taken that away from a grandpa.
978
01:13:43,900 --> 01:13:46,120
A lot of things around here are not right.
979
01:13:46,300 --> 01:13:47,830
And I'll admit to being wrong.
980
01:13:48,280 --> 01:13:51,070
About half of its probably ever.
981
01:13:51,490 --> 01:13:53,200
I wouldn't like to point out to you.
982
01:13:53,320 --> 01:13:56,380
It was a good lord himself that may do the sharp
983
01:13:56,410 --> 01:13:57,760
Kung woman that you were.
984
01:13:58,900 --> 01:14:01,120
He did it to add flavor to this family
985
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:03,520
he way you put salt or pepper in a stew.
986
01:14:03,880 --> 01:14:05,080
Keep it Mensa flat.
987
01:14:06,610 --> 01:14:08,410
And if he did take away your speech,
988
01:14:08,440 --> 01:14:11,260
maybe he did it as a lesson us not to you.
989
01:14:12,340 --> 01:14:15,610
By golly, we need a little seasoning around here.
990
01:14:15,640 --> 01:14:19,480
Otherwise life would be just to taste this without it.
991
01:14:21,430 --> 01:14:25,750
Our history the EBU did make a promise to the good Lord
992
01:14:25,750 --> 01:14:28,210
that everything would be sweetness and light
993
01:14:28,210 --> 01:14:30,460
if he just let you come home from the hospital.
994
01:14:32,110 --> 01:14:34,750
However, I also made a promise to the Lord
995
01:14:34,930 --> 01:14:37,510
that I will let you sit in the sun and not hit the finger.
996
01:14:37,840 --> 01:14:40,990
If he just let you get well enough to come back with me.
997
01:14:43,270 --> 01:14:45,490
However, I am going to break that promise
998
01:14:46,150 --> 01:14:47,920
and asked the Lord's forgiveness.
999
01:14:48,310 --> 01:14:49,900
And I hope you do likewise.
1000
01:14:56,620 --> 01:14:58,690
Oh woman if you want any breakfast,
1001
01:14:58,840 --> 01:15:01,750
you better start sweeping this porch and earn your keep
1002
01:15:02,020 --> 01:15:04,390
and that's the way it's going to be from now on out
1003
01:15:14,080 --> 01:15:16,570
come home and come home
1004
01:15:24,430 --> 01:15:42,550
you we will return to grandma's birthday party in a moment
1005
01:16:19,300 --> 01:16:21,340
I Know What Mom and Daddy are thinking about.
1006
01:16:21,700 --> 01:16:23,440
That's a song we sing. It's your 25th
1007
01:16:23,440 --> 01:16:25,180
wedding anniversary when I discovered that
1008
01:16:25,180 --> 01:16:27,790
I'm married just about the most romantic man in the world
1009
01:16:28,300 --> 01:16:29,080
just about.
1010
01:17:17,020 --> 01:17:20,800
Now I know how you feel about drinking one glass of champagne.
1011
01:17:21,190 --> 01:17:23,710
Every 25 years won't turn you into a sinner.
1012
01:17:24,040 --> 01:17:26,290
Any more than two or three visits to church
1013
01:17:26,290 --> 01:17:27,490
will make you into a saint.
1014
01:17:29,620 --> 01:17:30,190
Olivia
1015
01:17:31,360 --> 01:17:33,760
this has been the best 25 years of my life
1016
01:17:43,090 --> 01:17:45,880
thanks Mike. I thought it would allow me to finish it for you
1017
01:17:45,960 --> 01:17:55,020
know well, I never thought I'd be dancing and drinking champagne today.
1018
01:17:55,620 --> 01:17:57,840
You tend not to be irregular to Galahad.
1019
01:17:59,280 --> 01:18:21,540
I'd appreciate if you wouldn't let that get around son
1020
01:18:21,540 --> 01:18:22,530
straining good dad.
1021
01:18:23,430 --> 01:18:24,960
Maybe we ought to think about heading back.
1022
01:18:25,440 --> 01:18:26,760
Let's just wait a little longer.
1023
01:18:27,330 --> 01:18:28,980
I want to make a wish on the first stop.
1024
01:18:43,500 --> 01:18:50,880
With me, and the shining glory show.
1025
01:18:56,340 --> 01:19:00,810
On April 22 1978, America lost a national treasure.
1026
01:19:01,260 --> 01:19:03,390
And each of us lost a beloved friend
1027
01:19:03,540 --> 01:19:05,070
with the death of wheel gear.
1028
01:19:06,240 --> 01:19:08,370
We were all on vacation when we all died.
1029
01:19:08,670 --> 01:19:10,500
And his death came as a great shock.
1030
01:19:11,310 --> 01:19:13,470
We never had a chance to say farewell.
1031
01:19:13,710 --> 01:19:15,810
So to help us to deal with his passing.
1032
01:19:15,960 --> 01:19:18,750
We decided to say goodbye on the Waltons.
1033
01:19:20,490 --> 01:19:21,090
Grandpa
1034
01:19:22,170 --> 01:19:23,190
no Jay bez.
1035
01:19:26,820 --> 01:19:28,200
He was the pig for my four H
1036
01:19:28,200 --> 01:19:29,790
project the one Clarence gave me
1037
01:19:31,980 --> 01:19:35,550
well I'm keeping the home now.
1038
01:19:37,440 --> 01:19:38,640
And he's getting nice and fat.
1039
01:19:39,330 --> 01:19:42,900
For the fair we're going to have hope
1040
01:19:42,900 --> 01:19:44,760
we just moved to Richmond before the fair
1041
01:19:51,360 --> 01:19:57,540
realized spot up a little bit
1042
01:19:57,540 --> 01:20:00,000
around this season so everything's got real nice.
1043
01:20:01,950 --> 01:20:03,000
You should already know that
1044
01:20:06,900 --> 01:20:09,180
I've been thinking about you a lot like your grandpa,
1045
01:20:09,510 --> 01:20:10,590
GW too.
1046
01:20:11,820 --> 01:20:13,410
If you see him tell him I love him.
1047
01:20:14,730 --> 01:20:16,230
I miss you both very much
1048
01:20:21,630 --> 01:20:24,810
Grandpa is a lot of you and John Curtis.
1049
01:20:26,040 --> 01:20:28,380
He loves to hold his hands out to all kinds of people
1050
01:20:28,530 --> 01:20:29,400
just like you did.
1051
01:20:31,710 --> 01:20:33,090
He loves playing in the dirt.
1052
01:20:33,720 --> 01:20:35,250
I think he's going to be close to nature
1053
01:20:35,610 --> 01:20:36,330
the way you were
1054
01:20:40,620 --> 01:20:42,660
daddy's letting me use your tools now grandpa.
1055
01:20:43,740 --> 01:20:45,690
He was gone for a few days and while he was gone
1056
01:20:45,690 --> 01:20:50,970
I didn't get into much trouble and
1057
01:20:50,970 --> 01:20:51,870
take good care of them
1058
01:20:55,830 --> 01:20:58,350
heard this song the other day grandpa
1059
01:20:59,640 --> 01:21:00,570
reminded me of you.
1060
01:21:02,130 --> 01:21:03,180
It's one of your favorites.
1061
01:21:49,860 --> 01:21:54,780
You in
1062
01:22:10,470 --> 01:22:12,120
get a good time I'm sure she do.
1063
01:22:12,240 --> 01:22:14,310
She's got the photograph album in bed, whether
1064
01:22:14,400 --> 01:22:16,290
there's still a few empty pages at the end.
1065
01:22:18,840 --> 01:22:20,580
With his family I'm sure we'll fill him up
1066
01:22:26,940 --> 01:22:30,300
in a few moments, It'll be my pleasure to introduce you to our cast
1067
01:22:30,510 --> 01:22:33,570
and the members of my family they have betrayed on the Waltons.
1068
01:22:33,930 --> 01:22:35,310
And then we will visit Skyler,
1069
01:22:35,310 --> 01:22:37,530
Virginia where these stories began.
1070
01:22:37,830 --> 01:22:39,000
Please stay with us.
1071
01:22:43,800 --> 01:22:45,090
For the past eight years,
1072
01:22:45,090 --> 01:22:48,840
some extraordinarily gifted actors have acted out the life of a family.
1073
01:22:49,560 --> 01:22:54,210
their art they have moved as to laughter entity is
1074
01:22:54,240 --> 01:23:02,040
and through their caring they have created characters
1075
01:23:02,040 --> 01:23:03,690
that will live in our hearts.
1076
01:23:04,440 --> 01:23:07,980
When we filmed the homecoming, kami Cotler was six years old.
1077
01:23:08,430 --> 01:23:10,230
In the eight years we've worked together
1078
01:23:10,440 --> 01:23:12,360
a good many happy things have happened,
1079
01:23:12,660 --> 01:23:15,540
and one of the most pleasant was watching CAMI grow up.
1080
01:23:16,110 --> 01:23:19,380
Kenny Were there times when you thought of the Walton brothers and sisters
1081
01:23:19,380 --> 01:23:21,330
as if they were real brothers and sisters.
1082
01:23:21,810 --> 01:23:24,960
Most of the time we've always teased each other like real brothers and
sisters
1083
01:23:24,960 --> 01:23:26,970
and played together like real brothers and sisters,
1084
01:23:27,240 --> 01:23:28,620
I think will always be close.
1085
01:23:29,490 --> 01:23:32,490
There's one viewer who has watched the series with special interest.
1086
01:23:32,730 --> 01:23:35,700
Her name is Nancy Hamner, Jamison, and
1087
01:23:35,700 --> 01:23:39,300
she is my youngest sister, the model for the character of Elizabeth.
1088
01:23:39,870 --> 01:23:41,940
Kenny, I'd like you to meet Nancy
1089
01:23:42,690 --> 01:23:44,550
Cami. I'm glad to finally meet you.
1090
01:23:44,730 --> 01:23:46,440
They're very pretty. Thank you.
1091
01:23:46,440 --> 01:23:49,140
I've had people tell me that you and I look a lot alike.
1092
01:23:49,410 --> 01:23:51,780
How does it feel to have your life story on television?
1093
01:23:52,050 --> 01:23:54,540
It's almost like living your life over again.
1094
01:23:55,110 --> 01:23:57,300
I only know about you up to the time you were 14.
1095
01:23:57,600 --> 01:23:58,830
What's your life like today?
1096
01:23:59,340 --> 01:24:00,870
I live in Richmond, Virginia.
1097
01:24:00,930 --> 01:24:02,640
I'm married to Garnett Jamison and
1098
01:24:02,640 --> 01:24:05,700
I work at the Virginia Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries.
1099
01:24:05,970 --> 01:24:06,930
Do you watch the show?
1100
01:24:07,140 --> 01:24:08,130
I never miss it.
1101
01:24:08,460 --> 01:24:10,140
Thank you, Nancy. It was nice to meet you.
1102
01:24:10,260 --> 01:24:11,250
Goodbye Cami.
1103
01:24:11,880 --> 01:24:14,160
When we first met David Harper as Jim Bob.
1104
01:24:14,160 --> 01:24:18,600
He was eight years old. He needed a haircut and he was a terrific actor.
1105
01:24:21,240 --> 01:24:25,590
Today he's a fine young man and still one of the best actors in the
business.
1106
01:24:26,230 --> 01:24:29,380
David do strangers ever come up to you and call you Jim Bob
1107
01:24:29,560 --> 01:24:30,460
sometimes?
1108
01:24:30,880 --> 01:24:32,500
Do they ever comment on the show?
1109
01:24:33,250 --> 01:24:35,410
Most the time they tell me that their favorite part is
1110
01:24:35,410 --> 01:24:36,460
when we all say goodnight.
1111
01:24:36,970 --> 01:24:38,500
We really did that at home.
1112
01:24:38,680 --> 01:24:40,720
Last thing we did before going to sleep
1113
01:24:40,750 --> 01:24:42,700
we'd all call goodnight to each other.
1114
01:24:43,120 --> 01:24:44,140
He still do that.
1115
01:24:44,830 --> 01:24:46,630
There's someone standing by in Virginia.
1116
01:24:46,660 --> 01:24:49,450
He's the grown up Jim Bob, my brother James.
1117
01:24:49,660 --> 01:24:52,720
Let's ask him about it. Jim.
1118
01:24:52,840 --> 01:24:54,580
You still say goodnight all over the house.
1119
01:24:55,240 --> 01:24:57,250
Well, only my mother and I live here now
1120
01:24:57,520 --> 01:25:00,220
that sometimes when the brothers and sisters are home and
1121
01:25:00,220 --> 01:25:02,140
some of my nieces and nephews are here.
1122
01:25:02,320 --> 01:25:03,910
We still say goodnight that way.
1123
01:25:04,750 --> 01:25:06,880
They've helped me do some crazy things on the show.
1124
01:25:07,330 --> 01:25:10,210
One time I brought home a peacock. Did you ever do that?
1125
01:25:10,660 --> 01:25:12,160
As a matter of fact, I did.
1126
01:25:12,550 --> 01:25:14,890
I found a peacock wandering around in a robe and
1127
01:25:14,890 --> 01:25:17,350
I was kind of days I picked it up,
1128
01:25:17,410 --> 01:25:19,480
put it in the car, brought it home.
1129
01:25:19,540 --> 01:25:21,100
We kept it for a long time.
1130
01:25:21,790 --> 01:25:23,320
On the show for about three years now.
1131
01:25:23,320 --> 01:25:24,910
I've been trying to get into the Air Corps.
1132
01:25:25,300 --> 01:25:28,420
And last show I finally made it. Did that really happen to you?
1133
01:25:28,870 --> 01:25:31,120
Now, I ended up in the medical corps and
1134
01:25:31,120 --> 01:25:34,960
spent most of World War Two at Letterman General Hospital in San Francisco.
1135
01:25:35,710 --> 01:25:38,140
Did you stay in that kind of work? And away?
1136
01:25:38,530 --> 01:25:41,050
The day I work at the University of Virginia Hospital?
1137
01:25:41,410 --> 01:25:43,150
What's it feel like when you watch the show?
1138
01:25:43,630 --> 01:25:46,210
I gotta tell you, most of the time we sit around and cry.
1139
01:25:46,780 --> 01:25:49,180
isn't that bad? No, David, it's that good.
1140
01:25:50,470 --> 01:25:53,410
We've seen the character of Jason grow from a small boy
1141
01:25:53,410 --> 01:25:57,520
interested in music to a young man who has become a working composer.
1142
01:25:58,120 --> 01:26:01,270
Because of the warmth of John Warmsley. His portrayal of Jason
1143
01:26:01,540 --> 01:26:04,210
he's been a favorite of everyone on Waltons mountain.
1144
01:26:04,870 --> 01:26:07,930
The one time he showed signs of becoming spoiled was
1145
01:26:07,720 --> 01:26:10,000
when he went to live with the Baldwin ladies
1146
01:26:10,150 --> 01:26:12,880
had a room of his own and breakfast in bed.
1147
01:26:13,360 --> 01:26:15,490
And probably his first taste of the recipe.
1148
01:26:16,360 --> 01:26:17,380
Is that you cliff?
1149
01:26:18,070 --> 01:26:20,410
My brother cliff, the model for Jason.
1150
01:26:20,950 --> 01:26:22,720
John, When are you coming back to Virginia.
1151
01:26:23,440 --> 01:26:25,510
I'm still trying to recover from that last trip
1152
01:26:25,510 --> 01:26:26,770
when you showed me the town.
1153
01:26:27,190 --> 01:26:28,630
I thought you were having a good time.
1154
01:26:28,720 --> 01:26:30,370
I was having a little too good time.
1155
01:26:30,370 --> 01:26:31,300
That was the problem.
1156
01:26:32,110 --> 01:26:34,990
Cliff I think our audience would like to know what kind of person you are.
1157
01:26:35,710 --> 01:26:37,270
Well, I have three children.
1158
01:26:37,330 --> 01:26:39,580
I work for a machine manufacturing company.
1159
01:26:39,880 --> 01:26:41,650
I fish in hockey and whenever I can
1160
01:26:41,680 --> 01:26:43,180
I go to the country where we grew up.
1161
01:26:44,110 --> 01:26:47,200
Your brother is always written Jason is a musical character.
1162
01:26:47,380 --> 01:26:49,090
How close is that to your own life?
1163
01:26:49,540 --> 01:26:53,110
Well, I can dance from the time the sun goes down to the comes up again.
1164
01:26:53,560 --> 01:26:56,560
I love music, but the truth is I can I can tune.
1165
01:26:57,610 --> 01:26:59,650
Hope one of these days you'll come out to Hollywood and
1166
01:26:59,650 --> 01:27:01,630
I'll show you the town the way you showed me Richmond.
1167
01:27:02,050 --> 01:27:07,480
I look forward to that John. A few years ago, my sister Marian hawks
visited the set of The Waltons
1168
01:27:07,720 --> 01:27:10,540
and ended up in the show we were filming at the time.
1169
01:27:10,930 --> 01:27:12,850
At that time she met the actress
1170
01:27:12,850 --> 01:27:15,550
who had been portraying her Judy Norden Taylor.
1171
01:27:16,270 --> 01:27:17,710
Hello again, Judy.
1172
01:27:17,860 --> 01:27:18,730
Hi, Marian.
1173
01:27:19,630 --> 01:27:22,030
Early in the series, you were always written as a tomboy.
1174
01:27:22,150 --> 01:27:23,710
How close to the truth is that
1175
01:27:23,860 --> 01:27:25,600
I was a terrible tomboy.
1176
01:27:25,870 --> 01:27:28,630
Growing up in a house with all those older brothers.
1177
01:27:28,780 --> 01:27:32,080
I learned to fight practically as soon as I learned to walk.
1178
01:27:33,070 --> 01:27:35,980
I know you became a nurse just as Mary Ellen does on the series.
1179
01:27:36,130 --> 01:27:39,370
I practice nursing for a while even after I married,
1180
01:27:39,700 --> 01:27:40,780
did you marry a doctor?
1181
01:27:41,140 --> 01:27:43,150
Glenn has his doctorate in psychology.
1182
01:27:43,150 --> 01:27:45,850
So I suppose you could say I did marry a doctor.
1183
01:27:46,150 --> 01:27:49,030
He is a professor at Virginia Commonwealth University.
1184
01:27:49,210 --> 01:27:51,430
And we have two sons Rob and Bill.
1185
01:27:51,820 --> 01:27:55,090
Rob teachers aren't and Bill is a student at VCU.
1186
01:27:55,630 --> 01:27:56,740
Do you have a busy life?
1187
01:27:57,190 --> 01:27:59,170
They aren't ours enough in the day.
1188
01:27:59,380 --> 01:28:01,870
I play golf. I collect antiques
1189
01:28:01,900 --> 01:28:04,090
I paint and I work as a hostess
1190
01:28:04,090 --> 01:28:06,250
and tour guide for when bus line.
1191
01:28:06,610 --> 01:28:09,940
Of course we include a visit to our hometown of Schuyler.
1192
01:28:10,600 --> 01:28:13,210
Would you like to relive those days we show on television
1193
01:28:13,210 --> 01:28:16,030
when you were growing up? In a way we do that?
1194
01:28:16,240 --> 01:28:18,880
Every Thursday night when we watch the Waltons.
1195
01:28:19,960 --> 01:28:22,030
In the original novel of the homecoming,
1196
01:28:22,150 --> 01:28:26,140
there were eight brothers and sisters just as they are in my own family.
1197
01:28:26,680 --> 01:28:30,160
When CBS decided that the book should become a television special,
1198
01:28:30,370 --> 01:28:33,250
they asked us to combine two of the characters into one.
1199
01:28:34,240 --> 01:28:37,000
Thus, my brothers bill and Paul became a composite.
1200
01:28:37,270 --> 01:28:39,280
The character played by Eric Scott,
1201
01:28:39,790 --> 01:28:41,650
if I've been playing to people all these years
1202
01:28:41,650 --> 01:28:43,300
should have been paid twice a salary.
1203
01:28:43,540 --> 01:28:46,330
Eric need one half of your real life counterpart.
1204
01:28:46,480 --> 01:28:49,180
My brother Paul. I agree with Eric.
1205
01:28:49,180 --> 01:28:50,500
He does deserve a raise.
1206
01:28:51,610 --> 01:28:53,050
Thanks, Paul. You know,
1207
01:28:53,050 --> 01:28:55,360
Ben has been something of a businessman on the series.
1208
01:28:55,990 --> 01:28:57,490
How does that match up to your life?
1209
01:28:57,820 --> 01:28:59,980
have worked for Baker shoe stores in New York and
1210
01:28:59,980 --> 01:29:01,750
New Jersey for the past 23 years?
1211
01:29:02,230 --> 01:29:05,170
How do you remember these years we've been dramatizing on television?
1212
01:29:05,350 --> 01:29:06,580
They were good years. Eric?
1213
01:29:07,180 --> 01:29:08,620
What is your life like today?
1214
01:29:08,920 --> 01:29:10,750
My two children are grown and go to college.
1215
01:29:10,780 --> 01:29:12,790
I live in New Jersey but I love Virginia and
1216
01:29:12,790 --> 01:29:14,080
I come home whenever I can.
1217
01:29:16,240 --> 01:29:19,330
Eric, the other half of your character is standing by in Virginia.
1218
01:29:19,780 --> 01:29:21,070
Meet my brother Bill.
1219
01:29:21,880 --> 01:29:24,370
How do you like the way I've been playing your half have been bill.
1220
01:29:24,520 --> 01:29:25,960
You're doing a good job already.
1221
01:29:26,470 --> 01:29:28,060
I can see why I got the part.
1222
01:29:28,330 --> 01:29:29,740
Please are here. Same color.
1223
01:29:30,400 --> 01:29:31,690
Well, Bill, do you have a family?
1224
01:29:31,810 --> 01:29:33,790
Yes, I'm married and I have three children.
1225
01:29:33,790 --> 01:29:34,660
I work in Richmond.
1226
01:29:35,890 --> 01:29:38,860
Are there any stories about Ben we haven't told yet that you'd like to see?
1227
01:29:38,980 --> 01:29:41,290
Yes, but you can tell them on television.
1228
01:29:43,870 --> 01:29:48,460
Eight years ago, the role of Aaron was created by a gloriously beautiful
little girl.
1229
01:29:48,000 --> 01:29:51,240
In the intervening years she grew up
1230
01:29:51,240 --> 01:29:54,960
to be this gloriously beautiful young woman, Marybeth McDonough
1231
01:29:55,830 --> 01:29:59,250
are all on the show. Something has always gone wrong when Erin falls in
love.
1232
01:29:59,370 --> 01:30:02,610
How about you so Sister Audrey, did she ever have a happy love affair?
1233
01:30:02,940 --> 01:30:05,790
Well, let's ask her. Mary Beth McDonough.
1234
01:30:05,970 --> 01:30:07,590
My sister, Audrey Hamner,
1235
01:30:07,590 --> 01:30:08,370
Hankins?
1236
01:30:09,180 --> 01:30:09,840
Mary Beth,
1237
01:30:09,840 --> 01:30:13,590
I think I had about as many boyfriends as you've had on the show.
1238
01:30:13,800 --> 01:30:16,530
But eventually Hank came along and we were married.
1239
01:30:16,980 --> 01:30:19,290
Well, maybe that'll happen to Aaron Walton someday.
1240
01:30:19,410 --> 01:30:22,920
I hope so. She certainly has had her heart broken enough times.
1241
01:30:23,410 --> 01:30:25,270
Aaron thinks she'd like to have a career,
1242
01:30:25,450 --> 01:30:27,190
but it might be good for her to settle down.
1243
01:30:27,340 --> 01:30:28,420
It was for me.
1244
01:30:28,420 --> 01:30:31,450
We live on a farm outside of Roanoke in Bedford County.
1245
01:30:31,660 --> 01:30:34,090
We have five children, four sons
1246
01:30:34,090 --> 01:30:36,490
and your daughter Wendy is still in high school.
1247
01:30:37,300 --> 01:30:41,800
I now work as a donor resources consultant for the American Red Cross.
1248
01:30:42,310 --> 01:30:44,920
What's it been like for you to be compared to Aaron Walton?
1249
01:30:45,040 --> 01:30:46,900
Well, I've taken a lot of teasing.
1250
01:30:47,260 --> 01:30:50,140
So have I it was nice talking with you, Audrey.
1251
01:30:50,440 --> 01:30:51,130
Goodbye, Mary
1252
01:30:51,130 --> 01:30:53,110
Beth, come to Virginia when you can.
1253
01:30:53,530 --> 01:30:54,430
Thank you, Audrey.
1254
01:30:54,430 --> 01:30:58,090
Well, Walton's Mountain is actually located here
1255
01:30:58,300 --> 01:31:00,970
in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.
1256
01:31:03,160 --> 01:31:05,320
My people were drawn to these mountains and
1257
01:31:05,320 --> 01:31:07,450
peaceful valleys when the country was young.
1258
01:31:08,080 --> 01:31:11,800
They settled here, cleared the land, and planted their crops
1259
01:31:11,800 --> 01:31:14,200
along the banks of the winding rock fish river.
1260
01:31:20,140 --> 01:31:22,450
I grew up in a small town of Skyla,
1261
01:31:22,750 --> 01:31:25,300
about 28 miles south of Charlottesville.
1262
01:31:26,350 --> 01:31:28,480
Little has changed down through the years.
1263
01:31:28,660 --> 01:31:30,430
And whenever I returned to Virginia,
1264
01:31:30,760 --> 01:31:33,130
I go back in time to another life.
1265
01:31:33,550 --> 01:31:35,740
The life I lead as a boy, and
1266
01:31:35,740 --> 01:31:38,140
I'm filled with a strong exaltation.
1267
01:31:38,560 --> 01:31:39,730
I'm home again.
1268
01:31:41,400 --> 01:31:43,200
This is a house where we lived those years
1269
01:31:43,200 --> 01:31:44,940
we brought to life on the Waltons.
1270
01:31:45,210 --> 01:31:47,070
My mother still lives here, and
1271
01:31:47,070 --> 01:31:49,110
is always ready to welcome us home.
1272
01:31:53,370 --> 01:31:54,330
It's good to be home.
1273
01:31:55,080 --> 01:31:56,550
It's good to have you home.
1274
01:31:57,600 --> 01:32:00,060
You know, when I think of this house when I'm away from here,
1275
01:32:00,300 --> 01:32:05,220
the one thing I remember is what good food we always had you were a good
cook.
1276
01:32:05,880 --> 01:32:10,830
I still am and I hope you're going to stay long enough to enjoy some good
home cooking.
1277
01:32:10,860 --> 01:32:12,060
Well, I certainly am.
1278
01:32:12,240 --> 01:32:15,300
Now the thing I remember is, when all of us were away at night
1279
01:32:15,300 --> 01:32:17,940
when we'd come home, it always be a light in the window.
1280
01:32:18,900 --> 01:32:21,210
Neither your dad and I could sleep too
1281
01:32:21,210 --> 01:32:23,460
when you you were saving your beds.
1282
01:32:24,240 --> 01:32:27,960
Now scattered all over the world. And you don't know if we say for now
beds.
1283
01:32:28,440 --> 01:32:31,710
I still pray for each one of you before I go to sleep.
1284
01:32:32,070 --> 01:32:33,990
world's changed a lot since those years
1285
01:32:33,990 --> 01:32:34,890
that we were growing up.
1286
01:32:35,730 --> 01:32:37,530
It's hard to be a parent today.
1287
01:32:37,530 --> 01:32:40,410
But I think that children still need the same thing.
1288
01:32:40,680 --> 01:32:43,200
They always did. They need to be guided and
1289
01:32:43,200 --> 01:32:44,460
it needs to be loved.
1290
01:32:45,030 --> 01:32:46,830
Since the Waltons went on television,
1291
01:32:47,070 --> 01:32:49,710
I know you've received visitors from all over the world.
1292
01:32:49,980 --> 01:32:51,660
But to most of them was no.
1293
01:32:52,020 --> 01:32:54,330
The most common question they asked is
1294
01:32:54,330 --> 01:32:57,810
if your children were as well behaved as the Walton children.
1295
01:32:58,020 --> 01:33:00,660
Where are we? Well, I tell them you were
1296
01:33:03,600 --> 01:33:05,970
my father died in 1969.
1297
01:33:06,120 --> 01:33:08,160
So he never got to see the Waltons.
1298
01:33:08,670 --> 01:33:11,310
He was a fine man, and we still miss him.
1299
01:33:12,180 --> 01:33:14,340
Whenever we come home, we always come here
1300
01:33:14,520 --> 01:33:16,980
to pay our respects and to remember him.
1301
01:33:16,000 --> 01:33:32,500
I have walked the land in the footsteps of all my father's
1302
01:33:33,100 --> 01:33:37,150
back in time to where the first one trod and stopped,
1303
01:33:37,420 --> 01:33:43,780
saw sky felt wind bent to touch Mother Earth and call this home.
1304
01:33:44,350 --> 01:33:48,850
This mountain, this pine and hemlock, oak and Poplar,
1305
01:33:49,570 --> 01:33:54,340
Laurel wild and Rhododendron, home and mountain,
1306
01:33:54,880 --> 01:33:59,350
father and mother grow to the sons and daughters
1307
01:33:59,470 --> 01:34:04,690
to walk the old paths to look back in pride in honored heritage.
1308
01:34:05,320 --> 01:34:09,250
To hear its laughter and its song, to grow to stand
1309
01:34:09,250 --> 01:34:11,260
and be themselves one day remembered.
1310
01:34:12,400 --> 01:34:17,290
I have walked the land in the footsteps of all my father's I saw yesterday.
1311
01:34:17,770 --> 01:34:19,120
And now look to tomorrow.
1312
01:34:22,390 --> 01:34:26,080
Someone once asked my sister Marian where Walton's Mountain is.
1313
01:34:26,410 --> 01:34:29,200
And she said it's somewhere My brother was very happy.
1314
01:34:29,560 --> 01:34:30,970
We've been happy here.
1315
01:34:31,210 --> 01:34:34,360
And I hope that in the past eight years, we've entertained you
1316
01:34:34,750 --> 01:34:37,390
that we've enriched your lives in some small way.
1317
01:34:37,780 --> 01:34:40,900
And that whenever possible, we've made some affirmative statement
1318
01:34:40,900 --> 01:34:45,490
about us as a people and about people as a part of all mankind.
1319
01:34:46,270 --> 01:34:48,940
We'll get started the custom of joining hands
1320
01:34:48,940 --> 01:34:50,860
during the setting of grace at meals
1321
01:34:51,190 --> 01:34:52,330
and in his memory.
1322
01:34:57,040 --> 01:34:59,950
Good night, Ellen. Good night.
1323
01:35:02,140 --> 01:35:02,920
Good night Allen.
1324
01:35:06,430 --> 01:35:07,090
Tonight Michael
1325
01:35:08,890 --> 01:35:12,400

1326
01:35:12,880 --> 01:35:13,660
Good night Michael.
1327
01:35:15,670 --> 01:35:19,810
Great David Schneider thank him
1328
01:35:19,810 --> 01:35:21,460
CAMI Matt David.
1329
01:35:22,240 --> 01:35:23,050
Good night Marybeth.
1330
01:35:24,070 --> 01:35:24,970
Good night kami.
1331
01:35:26,160 --> 01:35:29,490

Goodnight, Judy.

Goodnight John.
