    • Quotes

      Narrator: [narration as John 'John Boy' Walton, Jr. reading from his journal] In the early months of 1942 it seemed as if the only thing that didn't change was Waltons Mountain itself. The mountain was the one thing that endured in a time when all else was in turmoil. Old friends went into the service or into defense work. America was on the move and newcomers came and went. One such stranger set off a series of shock waves in our house, with the first one coming at about three o'clock in the morning of a fine spring day.
