Quotes
Narrator: [narration as John 'John Boy' Walton, Jr. reading from his journal] Looking back to 1939 on Waltons Mountain, I had to span a chasm far deeper and wider than nearly 40 years of time. Customs and prejudices that were acceptable in those days have gentled into a greater justice today. But they *were* part of that time, and to remember them any other way would be false. It was then, too, that my youngest brother, Jim Bob, entered a phase designed to drive the rest of the family to exasperation; a time when nothing stayed in his head for very long.
