Just rewatching The First Day today and I couldn't help but wonder, when and how do John-Boy and Mike Paxton become good friends? Mike Paxton is, if you can't remember, the leader of the group of people who keep pestering John-Boy during his first day, and then later becomes disabled in the war and Mary Ellen goes to visit him to make sure he is okay.

I don't think it is ever revealed how they came to know one another and become friends. I've wondered the same thing myself. I guess they could have met during some kind of college orientation, or maybe they knew each other from way back. I guess it is just one of those mysteries that we viewers can speculate on.

People change or sometimes they come back in another episode as a slightly different or similar character. Sometimes tv plays with our minds that way. waltonsportwriter

I became even more interested in the episode because about 3 years ago I met someone who lost her left leg to cancer in 1995. She is able to navigate very well with crutches, drives everywhere, and I have been able to help her regain her crutches when she has had to put them aside for a brief period as she does
something that requires her being seated.
