Where's Richards Son in this? I don't remember him being at Carolyns Reunion? Was he?

[ForeverWaltons]

I had been wondering if they were going to make the "group" photo available for purchase. Even though it has been a little over 6 months since the reunion I am tickled that we can finally purchase a copy.

Richard Thomas' son Rich, is not in this picture. He did not attend Carolyn's event. He attended Ray Castro/Kami Cotler's event held at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre held the night after Carolyn's.


The people in the group part in the middle of the photo are: Back row left to right: Richard Hatch (Wade Walton), Tony Becker (Drew), Jeb Rosebrook (Script writer), Angel Rhoades (Virginia Walton), Joe Conley (Ike), Charlotte Stewart (The Foundling episode, she's better known as Mrs. Beadle on LHOTP), Martha Nix Wade (Serena), Michael McGreevey (Hobie Shank, also a script writer), David Doremus (G.W.), Earl Hamner Jr., Deirdre Lenihan (Daisy Garner), Stephanie Silver (In the episode The Nurse), ?? but it's not Rich Thomas - Brenda do you know? Anybody else know that was there??, Scott Hamner (Earl's son - he was in The Homecoming).

Front row left to right: Tom Bower (Curt Willard), Hal Williams (Harley), James Bond III (Josh), Lynn Hamilton (Verdie), Mariclare Costello (Rosemary Hunter Fordwick), Ronnie Claire Edwards (Corabeth), Kami Cotler (Elizabeth), Sally Boyden (Tess from the episode Children's Carol), Cissy Wellman (Mrs. Yancy Tucker), David Harper (Jim Bob) & Eric Scott (Ben).

I just noticed that Jon Walmsley (Jason) & Ralph Waite (John Sr.) are not in the group picture!!

I wanted to let those interested in writing a cast member at the fan club address listed on this board know that today I received photos of Eric and David! I had written to them last October. I'm still waiting to hear from Kami, Judy & Jon.

I would have posted this on the autograph page but I didn't know how! LOL I have to admit that I'm still having trouble with the new board, I'm not very computer savvy
I found the page in search but it didn't give me the option to post to it or maybe I just don't see it.

The young man standing next to Scott Hamner is Greg Bentley, Social Media Manager from INSP.

Carolyn and I had a conversation about James Bond III today. I wasn't sure if he played Jody or Josh, but Carolyn correctly identified him as Josh. I found something interesting on the IMDB though. Did you know that Josh was actually played by 3 different actors? Todd Bridges, James Bond III, and Jason Moses.

Jody was also played by 3 different actors: Charles R. Penland, T.K. Carter, and Erin Blunt.

I thought that man was Greg Bentley (Social Media Manager from INSP) but I wasn't 100% sure so that was why I didn't put his name there. Thanks for confirming it Carolyn.

It was also wonderful to be able to meet all three who played Jody - Charles R. Penland, T.K. Carter & Erin Blunt, plus James Bond III who played Josh. Todd Bridges was scheduled to appear at Ray Castro/Kami Cotler's reunion event but he was a no show.

James Bond III was very outgoing, he liked the pictures of himself that I brought for him to autograph. He gave me his address so I could mail him copies of them when I got back home & I did so.

Charles R. Penland was very gracious & seemed to really enjoy being part of the reunion.

The only picture I could find & get a print of T.K. Carter was of him with a huge picture of Muhammad Ali. I asked him if he was a fan of Ali's & he done an excellent voice impersonation of Ali right then & there. I really enjoyed him doing that.

I wanted to ask Erin Blunt how he got the name Erin because I have only know females named Erin (the closest male name is spelled Aaron), but I never got up the gumption to ask him. He was bald though & I rubbed his head! LOL!! He was seated & I was standing. Naturally he was surprised that I did that. I told him that it is hard for me to resist rubbing a bald man's head if I have access to it........I know I'm weird!! I grew up always rubbing my maternal Grandfather's bald head & unfortunately it has become a habit of mine. The things I reveal on here...........

Awww, so nice to see this! love seeing David Doremus 'G.W' because his exit from the show was so tragic and always missed him. I would have loved Erin and him to have married and made new story lines...never liked any of her beaus afterwards. Great to see 'Curt' and 'Rosemary Hunter' too! interesting for me to see Sally Boyden there as I'm Australian too and she seems to have dropped off the radar in recent years. I remember her singing and dancing on TV when she was a tiny tot. Oh I love this photo

[ForeverWaltons]

I got my picture in the mail today (4/29/2013). It is not the normal photo finish that you usually see, it has a "textured" look to it. It's very professional looking, I like it!
