:)Walton's Int'l Fan Club Fall Reunion is scheduled for Saturday, October 25, 2008 at the Kirkley Hotel in Lynchburg, Virginia. Reservations for LODGING (in our room block) must be made by SEPTEMBER 26,2008. When making your reservation please ask for Walton's Int'l Fan Club rate. The phone number is 1-434-237-6333.
The Kirkley Hotel is letting us have a "Hospitality Room" on Friday afternoon. We will be selling our pictures, Ellen Corby's book and anything else I might find at that time instead of Saturday night at the banquet.
I'm also working on something special for Saturday morning. When this is confirmed I'll let you know. We have talked to some of the Walton cast members about joining us for this event, also Dr. Earl Hamner.
The price for the banquet and other information regarding the reunion will be posted later.
Now on a personal note. Four weeks ago my doctor gave me some wonderful news. NO CANCER CELLS LURKING !!! This called for a celebration. Three of my six sisters and I decided to drive across country. Wow, the beauty of AMERICA! Only one's soul can comprehend the beauty of what our eyes saw. The Grand Canyon, Sedona, Az. with the red rock, Yosemite, the Space Needle at nightime overlooking Seattle, the redwood forest, Yellowstone and the beautiful GRAND TETONS. And of course I thought of The Waltons when I was in Jackson Hole WY. We definitely experienced some awe-inspiring moments. I praise God for my healing and I'm looking forward to getting the fan club active again. I may be reached at 1-336-993-2752.
Hope to see you at the reunion and Warm Walton greetings are coming your way.
Love, Carolyn

Great to hear that you've got the "all clear" Carolyn. I'll add this information to the July Waltons Digest so that all of those members know as well. Unfortunately I won't be over there this time, but I'll look forward to hearing heaps of reports from everyone. Love, Karen in Australia PS. For anyone wanting information on the Waltons Digest, go to www.geocities.com/TelevisionCity/2792/walton1.htm. It comes out via email once a month. Or you can send me a Private Message and try that new feature of the forum out.

Carolyn,I am happy to know how well things are going for you. I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. I just started a new job. I work Saturdays so I probably cannot make it this year as I have not yet earned vacation time. I still live in the same neck of the woods you live in. I hope the fan club is revived. I always enjoyed the newsletters. God bless you.

I wish we could go this year. It would be in celebration of our 10th Wedding Anniversary!!! Remember when we went to the reunion for our honeymoon??? That was so much fun. If we can come I will bring our pictures from that reunion and share them with everyone. In fact I am trying to figure out how to post pictures in our messages here. When I do figure it out. I will post one of my dh and myself at that time!
