The Waltons Autograph Successes!

[Ryan James]

That photo was from the 2007 Reunion in California. I wish it was this year's!! ;D Carolyn wasn't part of the cast but had her picture taken with them since she's the fan club president and almost like a member of the family.

The white haired guy is Morgan Woodward, he played Boone Walton in the middle seasons.

Now I recognize Boone! I should have known Carolyn was the fan club president. My memory is short sometimes! Wonderful photos.

[Ryan James]

Thanks again!! ;D I'm sure i'll be updating this again when I hear back from David Harper.

Haha, Wow! Never imagine I’d see this reply ever come back. I went out to the mailbox today and inside is one of my SASE’s and I instantly knew it was an older request since it had a .41 cent stamp on it (with an added .3 cent stamp) and it had no initials next to my return address label.

So I ran up to the house, opened it up and was surprised when I pulled out four of my custom cards signed by Actress Ellen Geer! ;D As some of you may not know, Ellen is the daughter of the late Actor Will Geer who had quite an extensive list of film credits to his name, but is most well known for his role as Zeb Walton on the old TV show ‘The Waltons’. ;D Ellen starred in a couple of the episodes as two different characters and is still acting in films today.

I had to chuckle when I saw the cards, as these were some of my very first attempts at making them & I hadn’t quite got the design capabilities I have now. Still I’m super happy that she decided to reply after all this time. Thanks Ellen!

i wrote to ellen about 15 years ago and she sent me a photo of her father will geer [ GRANDPA WALTON ] in his garden. the picture was from her photo album and it says 1964 on the back. i have it in a frame. she is a very nice lady.

[Ryan James]

That's so cool ez!! I'm planning on stopping by Will's Garden theatre when they host the reunion at CA in 2012. It's only about 45 minutes away from the hotel!

[Ryan James]

FANTASTIC! I have officially completed my main cast project of “The Waltons” by receiving a wonderful response from David Harper Today! ;D For those who don't know, I attended the Annual Waltons fan club reunion back on October 23rd 2010 in Lynchburg, VA & gave my request to the Fan Club president Carolyn Grinnell who has access to most of the cast home addresses. She assured me she would mail it out ASAP. ;D

David Signed all four of my custom items and even sent me a very nice personalized Christmas card wishing me a happy holiday and apologizing for the delay in responding. ;D Thanks a million David!
