Whoo Hoo! Got my 2nd reply back from Joe Conley today!! ;D In my previous request to him I had sent some 4x6 custom photos I made using the photo op I got with him at the last Walton Reunion in Lynchburg, VA along with an 8x10. He sent back the 8x10 signed & an additional unsigned 8x11 photo but he didn’t see the smaller photos in the envelope and they got tossed in the trash by accident.  He apologized and said if I resent sent them again (thank goodness I keep all my custom files on backup) he’d be happy to sign them.  True to his word, Joe kindly signed them both as requested and also signed the 8x11 group photo, which I’m Thinking of turning into a multi-signed project soon, but only In-person! Thanks Joe!  SASE:  4x6 custom Photos:  8x11 Signed Photo:  Sent: April 9th 2011 Replied: April 20th 2011 Days Taken: 12 Address Used: Joe Conley P.O. Box 6487 Thousand Oaks, CA 91359 USA RYAN J. |

Received a very cool reply from Actor Keith Coogan today!! ;D Sent him a message back in march telling him how much I enjoyed his role as Jeffrey Burton on ‘The Waltons’ and wondering if he happened to have any signed photos he could send out for my Waltons autograph series. He messaged me back a couple days later with a simple “Got It!” and today received an 8x10 photo that was personalized and signed!! ;D He added ‘The Dishes are DONE Man!’ a quote from his 1991 film ‘Don’t Tell mom the Babysitter’s Dead’ LOL. Thanks Keith!! Envelope:  8x10 Photo:  Sent: March 19th 2011 Replied: May 6th 2011 Days Taken: 49 Address Used: *Private* (No return address on the envelope) RYAN J. |

Ryan, your personalized autograph pictures are GREAT--I love them!! And I, too, have a group autograph project! About 20 years ago I found one of The Waltons novels in a used book store, and over the years I've taken it to different reunions and gotten it autographed by members of the Hamner family and Waltons cast members. I first met Earl at a book signing in Chesapeake in 2005, and my book was finally graced with his autograph! What a THRILL! I only have a few more to go.......  |

Thanks for the comments sissy and buttercup!! Was super excited to get it last week! ;D That's awesome that you have a project going too sissy!! I have several family cast photos that I'm hoping to one day add everyone on and I'm slowly getting cast members to sign my Good-night John Boy book too. RYAN J. |

Sent a couple of previously signed photos out to Ralph Waite and Ronnie Claire Edwards today. ;D Hoping for safe and successful returns!! Don't like risking sending out photos that have already been signed, but can't get them any other way. RYAN J. |

Hi Ryan!
Are these photos some of your "project" photos that have been signed by other cast members? Good luck to you on their speedy return--I know what you mean about the "risk" of sending these out--they are definitely treasures! Ralph and Ronnie are two actors I haven't met yet, but would LOVE to! Their characters are two of my favorites! I'm hoping to meet them eventually. They haven't been to any of the reunions I've gone to in Schuyler or Lynchburg-- maybe I'll catch them in California in 2012! I am looking forward to Lynchburg, again, this year! I've met Mary a few times, but now I've got to get her to sign her book for me, and I've never met David Harper--I'm SO looking forward to that!

Hi sissy! Yes! the one I sent to Ronnie Claire was already signed by Joe Conley and I sent three photos to Ralph that were each signed by Joe Conley, Earl Hamner and Michael Learned. I plan on attending the reunion this year again, so feel free to come up and say hi!! ;D I met so many people last year and will do my best to try and remember faces and names. Am certainly looking forward to meeting both Mary and David too! I hopefully will be posting back in a few weeks with my results from both Ronnie and Ralph. RYAN J. |

Haha I know!! I thought those two would be the hardest to get, but thanks to good walton friends I got them no problem. I even have the Baldwin Sister as well and those were ones I thought I'd have a hard time getting too. RYAN J. |

Received a beautiful reply from everyone’s favorite Walton’s Mountain, VA storekeeper Ronnie Claire Edwards today!! ;D Extremely happy as I wasn’t sure she still signed TTM until a couple friends of mine got replies recently from a new address in Texas. Ronnie graciously personalized and signed my 8x10 photo that had been previously signed by Joe Conley last month TTM and am so relieved that it’s back safe and sound!! ;D She also signed my three custom cards which look very nice with her flourishing signature added to them. Thanks Ronnie! SASE:  8x10 Signed Photo:  4x6 Custom Cards:   Sent: May 14th 2011 Replied: May 23rd 2011 Days Taken: 10 Address used: Ronnie Claire Edwards 2712 Swiss Ave. Dallas, TX 75204-5924 USA RYAN-J |
