For those of us who could not attend -- could someone put together a list of celebrity attendees, as well as a list of forum members who attended ?? I know we'll be able to tell through photos and stories, but I would love to have simple lists, too....
THANKS!

Wow, the forum had a great turnout! Did you guys get to sit together or was there assigned seating for dinner? (I think I have to go to the next one!) How is Carolyn doing? Hopefully she gets a chance to enjoy the fruits of her labor during the festivities!

Hopefully she gets a chance to enjoy the fruits of her labor during the festivities! They have name place cards at the table, so they do assign you a table & seat. Brenda, weezer29 (Peggi) & MrsOliviaWalton (Jane) sat at a table together with Michael McGreevey (Hobie Shanks). David Harper (Jim Bob) sat at the table right in front of the podium. If you were facing the podium, then my hubby & I sat at the table to the right beside David's, just a little past the podium. They sat eight people to a table. jimbobwaltonlover94 (Breanne) sat at a table to the back of me. Dagmargermary sat at David Harper's table along with her husband. Of course, we all got to mingle with each other before the program started & after it ended. Carolyn had the room decorated for all four seasons plus display tables, a table dedicated to Joe Conley's (Ike) memory, four tables of auction items plus a table with a big cake of Ike's store (which was delicious). Brenda, weezer29 (Peggi), MrsOliviaWalton (Jane) & my husband & I went to Schuyler together on Saturday morning after the autograph session. When we arrived there we also met up with Cinlou. We got to spend a wonderful & memorable time together touring Earl Hamner's little slice of heaven that he grew up in. We also had another amazing lady named Cynthia that went with us, but she is not on this forum. Naturally, we all spent time together at the hotel during our stay. Then on Sunday morning - Brenda & hubby, Peggi, Cinlou & hubby, Jane, plus my hubby & myself went & ate breakfast together at Bob Evans Restaurant before saying our goodbyes to each other. Carolyn is having problems with one of her knees. I heard that she postponed knee surgery in order to put this reunion together. Hopefully if she elects to do the surgery, it will be a speedy & successful recovery. Carolyn is truly a remarkable lady & has an honest, passionate love for not just all things Walton, but for us Walton fans too. If there is another reunion & you can make it, you will not be disappointed. You will be surrounded by wonderful people & great memories will be made for a lifetime. |

I have enjoyed reading about the reunion from those who went,and I have also enjoyed looking at the pictures. I'm glad everyone had a good time,and all got home safely.I was wondering if the reunion have always been held in Virginia and California.I was just thinking it could be held in Pigeon Forge sometime.There is a lot of great that the reunion can be held at.Also there is a lot of other things you can do and enjoy.I would like to to a reunion sometime,but I don't think I could go to California.  |

I am late catching up with all the news about the reunion because hubby and I have only been back home from a trip for three days. I am slowly making my way through all the posts as time permits. Kimberly, I really enjoyed your recap here. With all your photos and synopsis, I almost felt like I was there with you. You do a fantastic job. I do hope the reunion continues next year because we are already planning to attend. I am looking forward to reunion information sometime in 2014. I want to meet everyone and make new Walton's friends. I am so glad you all had such a wonderful time in Virginia. Carolyn, if you read this, I am thinking of you with your knee issues and praying for a positive outcome. I know what you are going through, as I've been down that same road myself and so grateful for a good knee once again after having a long struggle. |

I posted the review under the original Walton's Appreciation Cruise thread. |
