Here's a small scene I've had in my head for a quite a while, set just after A Walton Easter. I thought it was quite funny, so I thought I'd share it here.
Ike and Corebeth are sitting in their house one night. Ike: You know, I still can't believe John and Olivia didn't invite us to their fortieth wedding anniversary. Corabeth: (sighs) Ike: I mean, we're family! We've both known them for years. Corabeth: Mr. Godsey, you and I both know that their fortieth anniversary was back in 1959! We were both at the celebration, those people just don't want to admit that they're getting old!
Heh heh ;D

Thanks each ;D and Jeri, that's a good point! John-Boy was born in 1916 wasn't he? perhaps 1955 or 1954 would be a better year for their fortieth wedding anniversary.

I'm surprised Ike and Corabeth weren't in A Walton Easter.

The Reunion special celebrating the Waltons 40th anniversary occurred at Easter 1970. However the time was totally skewed anyway, because the moon landing was in July of 1969. I am sure it was a typo that put the Walton 40th reunion in 1959 however it would be more logical but Johnboy would still have been conceived in wedlock if that had happened. Another thing was that in 1959 nobody had been in space yet.

I am sure it was a typo that put the Walton 40th reunion in 1959 however it would be more logical but Johnboy would still have been conceived in wedlock if that had happened. Another thing was that in 1959 nobody had been in space yet. Ah yes, yes, I agree. I wasn't suggesting that I think A Walton Easter takes place in 1959! One way to look at it is like this: The Waltons is a work of fiction, and so, their world is not the same one as our's and so maybe historical events happened differently for them. In The Woman John and Olivia celebrate their twentieth anniversary, I assume that The Woman is set in 1935, because The First Day is set in the September of 1934 and The First Day is the second episode of Season 3, while The Woman is second to last. Therefore 1915 is the most logical choice of wedding date for them, so had A Walton Easter been better researched, they should be celebrating their 55th anniversary in 1970. But since they are celebrating their fortieth, we could perhaps say that they have two dates that they use as their wedding anniversary? Perhaps, fifteen years after getting married, John and Olivia did something so significant that they use it as a secondary wedding anniversary date? It can't be renewing vows though, as they do it in The Woman and it surely would have been mentioned if they'd done it before. Also, you could just go along with the little joke in my scene and say that EVERY year after their fortieth anniversary, they've said it was their fortieth anniversary so that they don't feel so old. But, sorry, I've gotten a little carried away! I love tolking about the timeline.

Any Walton movie without Ike and Cora Beth feels like it's not complete. There IS NO Walton's Mountain without the Godseys!

Another thing was that in 1959 nobody had been in space yet. The whole movie is illogical because Earl Sr died around Easter 1969 he wouldn't have seen the moon landing so since this is based on Earl Jr.s life John Walton shouldn't have been alive either.

Dear AR15 and Carol. Do you remember The Donna Reed Show that ran from about 1957 or 1958 to 1966? There was a commercial promoting the show in which Donna Reed says, " I guess we don't have to talk about EVERYTHING that happens to the Stones"{The Stones was the name of the TV family}. Taking that into account and comparing it with the Waltons, we might say that an event that occurred in 1930 might have been so significant that the Waltons chose to celebrate it in some special way. During those years there were plenty of radio magazine and newspaper contests going around and it may very well be that the Waltons WON A TRIP TO NEW YORK and Mary Ellen did get to go to a Dodger game and they all went to see a play. It was never discussed on the show so maybe that was the 40th anniversary of the trip that the Waltons celebrated in 1970!

One of my Grandma's got married at age 14 and 6 mos later had a 'premature' baby. I found out about it because she let me read her personal journal that she had been keeping since childhood. ;D

Marilyn......not trying to get too personal or all up into your family's business but did she write in her journal or tell you that she had "sex" before marriage? The reason I ask is because if she wrote down that it was a premature baby, that it truly may have been.
My maternal Grandmother was born premature at home in 1923. Her parents had been married for over 8 years at that time. When she was born they told her Mother that she would never survive. She was so small that her Uncle took her & put her in her parents' coffee pot & was even able to close the lid on her! They had to carry her around on a pillow. Miracles do happen! She liked 3 months being 85 when she died.
