[@elizabethhjenkins6172]

Amazing. What a gift all of you are to TV history. Jon has done many wonderful things. I only had two sisters growing up as my only brother died when I was too young to even meet him. So, I loved all the girls in the Walton’s but was really sort of nourished by the boys. I have always loved music so the character of Jason was important to me. My mom dabbled in writing so John Boy was a good model for me, too. I loved Mary as Erin working as a switchboard operator as my grandmother had done that during the Depression. I guess that is part of why the show and the actors on it so resonate with me today. Thanks, Judy, for continuing to do these. I hope you and your family have a great Christmas season.

Near the end of Pt. 3, when Judy and Jon talked about the effect of "The Waltons" had on people I had a jolt of old memories. I was in my late teens/early 20s at that time and going to college during the Vietnam War. Life became horrific and I had developed panic/anxiety and depression. Anyway, I so looked forward to watching "The Waltons" every Thursday Night. When the show was on my anxiety and depression would temporarily seem to 'disappear'. For the many years "The Waltons" were a respite of calm that helped "save" my life. Many years have passed, life went on with ups and downs, but I'm 73 years old and still here. My memories of watching "The Waltons" are still very dear to me.

Fast forward to 2023 and retired my wife and I are binge watching The Waltons. I didn't realize what I was missing and have fallen in love with the series!

I can remember watching Winnie the Pooh and the blustery day many times as a kid and particularly being drawn to Christopher Robin’s voice. I thought he sounded so warm, gentle, kind and sensitive and thought he would make a really good friend. It was so fun to find out last year on one of your episodes that that voice was Jon!
