  Good Morning All. ,
                                       Yesterday a.m., I was watching my daily episode of 'Love Boat' on 'Me TV" & "" Grand Pa Walton"" was 1 of The Special Guest on It. I'm sure some of you have at some time seen it. He looked the same age as his later years on ""The Waltons"". A little girl from a foster home; had stowed away on the ship, she was un happy with her 'Foster Home' & ":Kindly Grandpa ", Payed her passage, became close Friends & at the end, made arrangements with her 'Case worker' to become her 'New foster parent'. Just wanted to pass it along.  'Happy Weekend "

Did he explain to her that she has to travel back through time and live during the post-Depression years? Did he tell her who her foster mother will be?

him,and he took all their Christmas gifts.

So now we know how he acquired Christmas gifts for his new foster child!  It's been mentioned here before that Eight is Enough filmed close to The Waltons lot and the casts would often visit each other.

I remember that Love Boat episode... because it was fun to see Will Geer while we were also watching him on The Waltons.... it must have been fairly shortly before he died, because I think Love Board didn't start until about 1977 ??
