Quotes
Narrator: [narration as John 'John Boy' Walton, Jr. reading from his journal] There is something in a mountain which gives strength and stability to those who know it well. Its timeless slopes make troubles seem smaller. We were to draw on that strength many times during the anxious years of World War Two. But those years brought troubles of a kind we had never known before. The pain of separation from loved ones who were sent overseas and who might have become casualties or prisoners of war. The agony of waiting.
