Yup, David pretty much hit the nail on the head. Once the dates get closer for the Reunion (October 21st and 22nd) Carolyn will post on how to obtain registration for attending. She basically will mass mail out a RSVP form and those who reply back with the # of people and the check to cover the banquet cost per person (Last year's was $50.00 I beleive???) are guaranteed getting into the reunion. I went last year and had a blast!!! Can't wait to go again this year as well. RYAN J.

Yes I have her phone number, but she never did return our calls. Is she the only one that can process the info with me? And who all of the cast goes to these reunions? Does Jon Walmsley come and play his music and such? What about Richard Thomas does he attend? I have asked and no one answers that. Please tell me who all attends Michael Learned, Ralph Waite, etc?

Hmmmmm. I'm not sure who else to tell you to contact. Maybe someone else on here can help you on that one. Carolyn does have a group (board) that helps her but I don't know who they are. As far as cast members, there are usually just two there each year. This year it is Mary McDonough and David Harper. Jon Walmsley was there in 2009. Joe Conley last year and Mary McDonough and Kami were there the year before. How about you check your PM and I'll tell you more.

Yes Carolyn is the one with all the info on the reunion. Except for when she posts stuff on the forum then we can relay that onto others. Every reunion ends with an Auction and all the proceeds from the auction go towards bringing in the cast members for next year's reunion. It typically costs around $1,000 to fly a single cast member from CA to VA. That includes lodging hotel fees, plane fees ect. ect. So the more money the auction brings in the more cast members will be able to come. & it also depends on who's willing to fly to VA to attend as well. I know Ralph is getting up their in age, but that would be great to have him attend! Like David said jon was their in 2009 and played his guitar for people. As far as I know Richard has never attended a reunion, maybe the very first, but I've not seen photos or heard any news that he did. RYAN J.

I don't know if you've checked your PMs or not but I left you 2 messages. Are you mad at me or have you missed checking the messages? The reason I'm wanting to know is because I haven't heard back from you. PM me back please.

More News regarding cast commitment for our reunion this fall. I talked to Jon Walmsley again this morning and he has made a commitment to COME and JOIN us at our fall reunion. I talked to Michael Learned again and she said MAYBE - depends on her schedule. But everyone keep your fingers crossed. I talked to Kami Cotler and she DECLINED our invitation due to her extremely heavy schedule. I understand heavy schedules. When everything is confirmed I will post it here on the forum as I have done in the past. A special thanks to those of you who answer questions from concerned fans regarding the reunion. I will be posting again soon, probably around May 17.

No, their's no need to join the fan club in order to attend. You basically just need to fill out the Registration form after Carolyn sends them out and get them back to her so she knows how many people plan on attending. She will update us on when she'll need your addresses to send out the forms. RYAN J.
