Yay, Carolyn, I've been waiting for this post!
You got Curt - SWEET!
If there's any way you could bring Dennis Kort - he played Lyle in "The Genius" - that would be incredible. Love him!

Yay, Carolyn and Vicky!!!
Now I'm getting excited about this event. I've been pricing air fares for the past few days, and I thought I'd let everyone know there are some air fare sales going on today with some cheap flights to Burbank, depending on where you are. If you haven't bought your tickets yet, you might want to check them out, as the sales will probably end tonight at midnight. Unfortunately, I'll probably be flying out of Charleston, WV, and fares from there don't seem to be on sale. I thought some here might be able to take advantage of it, though.
Looking forward to seeing everyone.
Brenda

I was thinking Ralph Waite....don't know if he has ever attended before or not. But another name came to mind....Sissy Spacek! Has Sheriff Bridges ever attended or Wilford Brimley?!? What about the actress that played Verdie's daughter or her grown up son Jodie that started the garage with Jim Bob? Oh the names that are churning in my head!!!

foreverwaltons, unless I'm mistaken I think that the actor who played Ep has passed away.  I'm a big Ep fan - that woulda been SWEET.

Dewlanna you're right John Crawford who played Sheriff Ep Bridges died on 9/21/2010 at the age of 90.
I looked him up on imdb to see if he was still alive, I am a big trivia buff & don't know how his death got by me. I would have really liked to have met him. I didn't look up the woman who played his wife though......

It sounds like Michael Learned will NOT be attending after all.  She posted this on Ray's page today. So I would assume this goes for Carolyn's reunion as well?? "Dear Ray
I am so sorry I won't be able to attend your wonderful fundraiser for Kami's school. As you know, when an actor has the good fortune to be employed it is impossible to say no! Especially at my age! I love the play I'll be doing in Delaware (The Outgoing Tide) and am only sad that it conflicts with your dates. I know your event will be entertaining and heartwarming and I'm so disappointed to have to miss it. Please tell our Walton's fans that I cherish their devotion to the show, that I am sorry I will miss being with them, but that I know it will be a lot of fun for them and the cast. And . . . it's for a great cause!
Thank you for what you are doing to help Kami's school and all the terrific kids she and her staff are devoting their lives to encourage and support. I know it will be a fabulous evening and I'm sending you and our fans all the love in the world.
