To all the forum members going to the Reunion

[daniela]

I just want to wish each and every one of you going to the reunion and/or Benefit, the most wonderful time! I think it's so neat that you will meet each other!

I hope that you all will create the most memorable and most special memories! I am so excited for all of you. I am not going, but I feel like I am through all of you! I know you will all share your experiences, photo's, and most favorite stories, and I'm so excited to see and hear about all of it!

Please everyone, be safe in your travels, and have the BEST time ever!
Look forward to hearing about everything, because it is coming really soon!

I started this thread for anyone who wants to give well wishes to the attendees!

Thanks for the safe travel wishes!! It's going to be sooo much fun!! In addition to attending the reunion and seeing a lot of the famous California sites, I've also landed a special lunch date with a young Actress named Lexi Johnson who is a friend of mine and just happens to live in the Los Angeles area!!!

So can't wait to finally fly out!! ;D First time flyer too, so should be interesting seeing all the busy places and getting to experience some new travel!!

and like I've said to many of my friends, I'm planning on taking LOTS of photos and videos of my trip, so will let you know when I get those all uploaded and available for viewing!!

Will be wonderful seeing so many of the forum friends again and getting to meet some new who will be attending this year.

I'm not going but sure wish I could. There will never be another reunion of this magnitude so be sure to capture every moment! Everyone have a safe trip, be careful and aware of your surroundings. I look forward to seeing your pics and hearing your stories!

Thanks for the safe travel & wonderful time wishes!! Definitely hope to post pictures from them here on the forum. (When my hubby finds time to do it for me, I am totally lost on things like that).

Ryan.....you will be a first time flier huh? You will really enjoy it, especially if you have a window seat! ;D I always wanted to fly & my hubby also had never been on a plane. I could not talk him into flying. He would not hear of it! No way will I ever get in a plane he would tell me. Finally, I wore him down & in 1993 (before we became foster/adoptive parents) we flew to the Bahamas. He LOVED it!! I mean he really really enjoyed flying. I told him I couldn't believe that all the years you put up a fight about flying & now you are all gung-ho about it.

We have also flew in a helicopter before (the kind that doesn't have doors...you just hopped in & buckled up!) His job has him flying several times a year now for over 8 years on business to different cities in the U.S. It is almost unbelievable how once he was adamant about never flying & now enjoys it so.

It should be quite an experience for all of you go meeting both other fans and the cast. Enjoy it for all of us, safe travels and take care. Best wishes waltonsportwriter Thanks also for the good writeup Daniela.

Does Yancey Tucker show up to these things?

Hey Brenda, you think there is any chance you could get the cast to answer questions on here for a half hour or so on here ?

Maybe we could start a thread on here, and you could ask them questions that we post on it ?

[daniela]

Good idea awesome!

I don't know if you knew that Robert Donner (Yancy Tucker) passed away of heart attack on June 8, 2006.

I rather have Brenda mention about the cast on your thread.

Robert Donner was at one of the reunions in Virginia a long time ago, probably 1998 or 99. He was so funny, and I feel fortunate that I got to meet him.

I don't know if I would be able to persuade any cast members to answer questions here or not. Several of them have facebook pages where they answer fans' questions. If you are on Facebook, you can talk to them there.

I was watching the planes in the night sky last night and thought to myself, oh wow i bet they could be carrying some of my friends from the forum to the west coast.
I know ya'll will have an amazing time. Cant wait to read all about it when ya get back.

Are the Walton's cast pretty friendly mostly. They seem to be so, but you always think or want to give public personalities a little privacy or respect unless they want to talk to you. That's the only thing I'm really uncomfortable with speaking to stars even though they are real people.
