I don't know why he doesn't attend, butI don't think he can forget his fans from this show. I guess because he stays busy with what he does in NY and Calif. He's a big TV actor and a big stage actor.

When do we have to reply by, anyone know? Things are in such a mess still for me, with all the flooding and some health problems. Also I wonder why Richard Thomas never attends? I think that is a little odd. I hope he has not forgotten his Walton fans! If you sent Carolyn your address, she'll be sending out the registration forms soon and that will tell you when their supposed to be sent in. RYAN-J

Has JohnBoy ever gone to the reunion? Has anybody tried to get in touch with him?

As far as I know Richard Thomas has never attended a reunion since they started. Cariolyn Grinnell (Fan club president) is the only one who has contact with him about such things, but nothing's been said if he will be coming. RYAN-J

This is my first reunion, I can not wait. I have watched the Waltons since the show started. I have seen each show at least 5 times. I have all the dvd sets as well as the special movie set. I just finshed Marys book and I loved it. I will probably read it again while coming down by train. I have also made a scrapbook of the show with pictuures and information I have collected from the internet. I can not wait until October.

Technically... Richard Thomas "attended" a reunion... but it wasn't in Virginia or California...
While doing a play at Hartford Stage in Hartford, CT, we put together a reunion dinner and "took it to him"...
In honor of his birthday... we surprised him with Mary McDonough, Eric Scott, David Harper, Jon Walmsley, Judy Norton, Leslie Winston, Lisa Harrison, Joe Conley, Martha Nix Wade and Lynn Hamilton all coming to Connecticut... we all went to see his play-- he had no idea any of us were there--- and then he was brought over to the hotel for a special surprise dinner in his honor with everyone.
It was a great time!
There is a Reunion of cast members for an Alzheimer's Fundraiser in Virginia for fall of 2012 and RT is being approached. That is all the information I can tell you right now...

I am new to this site, but have been a Walton's fan for many years. My name is Cesare, and I live near Philadelphia, PA. My wife and I are interested in the October Reunion in VA, but I have been unable to get a response from Ms. Grinnell. How much is the weekend, and what does it include? Thanks everyone!

Hey Phlyfn. Send Carolyn a PM here on this forum or e-mail her at thewaltonsinternationlfanclub@gmail.com and I'm sure she will get back with you. Hotel is 89 dollars a night at a descount if you mention you are with the waltons reunion. The dinner is 60 a person. Not very expensive at all, really.

Thanks, I've sent her both an email, and a PM. I guess I will just be patient then. Hope to make it to the reunion, it sounds wonderful!

Unfortunately, my wife and I are not able to come to the reunion this year, as that date is our daughter's 3rd birthday. We are still planning, however, to visit the Schuyler/Charlottesville area, to see the Blue Ridge Parkway, and visit the museum and Mr Hamner's childhood home. Still looking forward to a scenic fall drive in Virginia. Maybe next year, we can come meet the actors, and spend time with others who love the show as much as we do.
