Thank you for sharing this, wonderful to see this especially for some who lives so far away, and could not be there. You all must have had a great reunion!

Thank you, for sharing. I didn't reconize Jon Womley aka Jason. I saw some pictures on Facebook. I was surpried he has changes. Who's the lady in the gray suit? (wearing glasses.)

I did not recognize Jon Walmsley either at first, even from up close. He has certainly changed his look.

Thank you for your sharing that, ForeverWaltons! We were, unfortunately, still trapped outside in the voucher/merchandise line (like so many others were), so we missed seeing the introductions.

She was a volunteer at the Waltons Mountain Museum. I don't know why they had her sitting up on the stage with the cast members.
*She is the Waltons Mountain museum director - Leona Roberts. (Updated 04/10/2017)

Mr. Forever got in the VIP line for entrance into the Waltons Mountain Museum while I got in line to buy the autograph vouchers. That ended up being a smart move on our part.  Mr. Forever ended up on 4th row (with me a saved seat) for the Q&A/Cast introductions. It took us just under two hours to talk to the cast members and get their autographs. We were already inside out of the sun and with air before the full sun came out for the day. We never had to wait out in the hot sun for autographs like lots of people had to. Some waited six hours just in line! So happy that I spent the extra fifteen dollars and bought Mr. Forever and I the VIP tickets and that we each waited in the two different lines, instead of waiting together in the same one. Just the standing in different lines saved us at least an additional two hours of having to wait in line.

Oh, yes, it did! Bill did the same thing, but he sat down in the back row, since all of the outside seats were taken in each row, and it was too hard for him to try to climb over people to get to seats in the center. So, we were almost at the very end of the VIP line for autographs. We stood in that line for about 5 hours! We finally made it almost all the way to the front, and were in the second row of the queue when the cast took their lunch break. So, we stood still without moving forward for over an hour at that point. After lunch, in order to make the line begin moving faster, they announced that fans would not be allowed to spend much time chatting with the cast while getting autographs. They wanted everyone in and out as quickly as possible. The actors were trying to be accommodating to the fans, but there were simply too many people still in line. So we were rushed in and out of the autograph room, and there was absolutely no opportunity to speak to any other cast members other than those you had a voucher for -- and only for the few seconds it took for them to sign the autograph. We were thankful that our 5-hour wait was all indoors, but it did get very warm inside with all the people. Michelle was in line with us, and patriciaanne was just a few people ahead of us in line, so that fortunately gave us some time to visit with both of them, and made our wait more enjoyable! 😋

I think I read in a newspaper article that she is the Director of the museum. |
