Quotes
Narrator: [narration as John 'John Boy' Walton, Jr. reading from his journal] On Waltons Mountain we treasured our neighbors. Everyone knew everyone else and we shared together in the joys and the sorrows of the people around us. We were all deeply alarmed when we learned that Miss Mamie Baldwin had developed an affliction, one that might forever confine her within her home.
