The Unthinkable

Narrator: [narration as John 'John Boy' Walton, Jr. reading from his journal] The battlefields of World War Two were thousands of miles from Waltons Mountain, but those times brought about many changes for my family on the home front. My brother, Jason, was training recruits at nearby Camp Rockfish and, like all servicemen, forming the close relationships that became so important during the war. For the youngest members of our household the changes were not too drastic. There were still chores to do, school to attend, and the joys or sorrows that went with such events as bringing home report cards.
