"Also there is only so much money each year to get just a few. "
What does this mean? Does somebody pay the actors to come to the reunion?

Hi Everyone, This reply is in response to "Carol from Cali." You asked if someone paid the actors to come to the reunion. The Walton cast does not charge an appearance fee to come to our reunions. However, we do pay for their airfare, lodging and food. Sometimes we also pay for their spouse to come. We use the money we receive from the auction to help bring the cast members in. Also we have some fan club members who will sponsor a cast member occasionally. Also, at the reunion we have photos of the cast for sale to help defray the expenses. A few of the cast have paid their airfare in the past. It is very expensive to have a reunion on the east coast, but worth every cent of it to be able to spend time with our extended family, our beloved Walton Family. Perhaps this will answer some of the questions from other readers who wondered why we only have a few to come.
When we have our reunions on the west coast there is usually a large number of the cast in attendance.
I don't know where this post will end up on the forum. Hopefully, it is in the right place.

Hi Carol from cali,
Like I said, I don't have anything to do with organizing the reunion so read what Carolyn Grinnell says because she is the one that does the work and has put this reunion on since 1993, I think. I did'nt mean to sound like that all of the cast members were paid to attend the reunions. I think there are several different circumstances. You would have to ask Carolyn about that.

Hi Ryan,
I guess Tony backed out because of other obligations is what carolyn told me.

What happened to Tony Becker?!?!?! I thought he was attending. RYAN J. Hi Ryan, This is what Carolyn mentioned this on the forum: Earl will be sharing his Christmas memories. His sister, Audrey will also be with us. At the moment, Tony Becker will not be able to join us. I haven't given up on him yet though Trace |

I am SO ready for the reunion! My husband and I will be attending! Is the guest list final yet? I haven't gotten any information in the mail since I paid our money. I have an extra doll set of the Waltons and a few books for sale if anyone is interested. Contact me at susanlulu@yahoo.com for more information or see me at the reunion.

Okay, So I'm kinda confused, I keep seeing all these cast names of who's attending but no official word on who's really going to be there. Based on the posts it will be: Earl Hamner Jon Walmsley Audrey Hamner Nancy Hamner If someone can shed any light on this, that would be very helpful! Preferably before this Saturday! Thanks! RYAN J. |
