Thank you for the answers to the questions. I always enjoyed seeing David in a non-Walton role in "The Blue and the Gray." Good historical drama.

Did he say why those were his favorites? Not that I recall patriciaanne.

Hi, was anyone able to get any answers for us curious people? We did not spend as much time talking with the cast members as usual. There were only two there. Plus, there was so much to see and do. Most of the time was spend talking and catching up with Walton friends, going out to eat with them, sightseeing, antique shopping, etc. It was a fun but exhausting weekend. We needed more time as we tried to jam so much into a few short days! Some people stayed longer. I wish we could have done that.

Hopefully I can go in 2016 and meet you all. That would be grand. We will be in the USA for one year starting in June 2016; then we will return to our mission work in Ecuador.

If hope you can make it! I would be so nice to meet you and your wife. The reunion is fun. Very low key with lots of time to spend with friends and enjoy the attractions in the area. Fall in Virginia is beautiful!

Hi, I always enjoyed attending the reunions in the early years of the fan club. Since then I have mostly been out of the country when they have taken place.
Has anyone ever asked Michael Learned what her favorite episode is?
I have a funny story to tell. Maybe I told it previously here. When Richard Thomas was in DC appearing in "Citizen Tom Paine" at the Kennedy Center (he played Tom) he appeared on the Larry King radio show when Larry was out one night; there was a guest host. Richard made a comment that the matinee audience was dead that day. I had been in the audience and I called in to the show and told him that I had been in the audience. He laughed and thanked me for calling. Then I asked him what his favorite show was. He said that was a hard question because they had done so many and then mentioned "The Thanksgiving Story" and went on to describe the show as Olivia's contracting polio. Of course, what he meant was "The Easter Story." It is interesting how the shows probably all blend together somewhat for actors. I think the fans can probably separate them better than the stars do. Both of the episodes to me are poignant and fantastic in their own way.

It's much easier for us because we watch them over and over again, becoming sort of "experts" on them. For the actors, each episode represents a week of work 40 years ago. Can any of us remember what we did at work--or anywhere--40 years ago? From what I can tell from most of the interviews, the cast doesn't watch the show nearly as much, if at all, as we do.
