Everyone looked great & I envy everyone who was there to be present for the long-awaited wedding. 😄

[@judynorton2598]

So glad you enjoyed it.

[@wonderrob3225]

I had a crush on Judy and her "sisters" when I was a little boy. they are still so beautiful. My crush on them remains 😍

[@dean828]

The artwork of passed away cast members was a touching memorial... people may not know that Lynn Hamilton, who played Verdie Grant, the African American widow who was good friends with the Walton family is still alive... she was born in 1930... being that she is in her 90's, she may well be totally retired from doing any media involving her career, but it would be nice to perhaps hear some words about her and her character from cast members! Thank you MS. Norton for making these videos... they are greatly appreciated by many!

[@waltonsfan7257]

I wish Judy could interview Lynn on here

[@Scott__C]

It was mentioned at the event that she's in her 90s and her health isn't good. I loved everything I've seen her in.

[@judynorton2598]

She was always such a joy to work with. I wish her health was up to being able to be a guest. We were lucky to have her with us for so many seasons.

[@LisaLisa-2023]

I LOVED Lynn Hamilton's award winning work! Every episode she was in, was so believable, wrought with intense emotion and true to the role she portrayed. Judy had mentioned she has health issues. She is adored by many and we wish her well.

[@Scott__C]

@@LisaLisa-2023 Lynn's work was fabulous. I felt like the Verdie and Harley, Josh and Jodie could have been a great show too.

It would be AWESOME if y'all could come to Mid-Michigan one of these times! We used to watch the show when I was little, and it reminds me so much of my parents! Missing them so much today, especially as today is the 31st year of my dad's Homegoing! Also, my oldest sister's first, so I'm naturally a little emotional today! Much love, and God's Blessings to you ALL! 🙌🏻🫶🙏💜

[@rosewalker-cz3tj]

Hearing Eric speak about Beaulah Bondi made me remember that she was in " Its a Wonderful Life " as Jimmy Stewarts mother....and Ellen Corby was also in Wonderful Life...I often wonder if they remembered each other from back then....

[@kathy.7475]

I’m sure they did. They were both favorites of mine.

[@judynorton2598]

Yes! Every year when I watch It’s a Wonderful Life, it’s so great to see both of them.

[@MiltonGoinsHome]

I knew Ellen Corby was, but didn't realize Beaulah Bondi was in that as well! How neat! I'm a couple years younger than Kami, and I remember seeing the episodes with Beaulah Bondi in them and truly believing she was their aunt Martha Corinne. She seemed like a real mountain woman. Superb acting!

[@carolynd9732]

Oh, this was brilliant, Judy. What a gift to all who could not attend such a special gathering!! I just loved the "reunion" and breakfast "wedding" of Elizabeth and Drew. So so sweet, and I am hoping y'all found Tony Becker feeling better as he certainly looked great after what he has been through (as a fellow cancer survivor, I totally relate ....). I also love how your Waltons family comes together when times are tough, and helping each other -- in this case, helping Martha Nix's husband in his health crisis. How lucky each of you are to have a family made possible by a Virginia writer named Earl Hamner whose stories have made all of our lives better. Thanks again for a peak into your lovely weekend together.

[@judynorton2598]

We’ll always be family, and we pull together to help each other. Thanks for watching.

I know your schedule was tight, but so glad you came to the dinner and breakfast. I and the other attendees I spoke with appreciate you fitting this in to spend time with us all. Most definitely a fabulous event. Mike McGreevey's documentary about Earl gave a lot of info I didn't know about him and it was nice seeing you guys and others he'd worked with speak about him. Definitely worth a watch for fans of his work, it's called Earl Hammer Storyteller.

[@LisaLisa-2023]

Hi Holly, The episode that brought GW Haines Home was one of my favorite episodes. The love he had still, for Erin and the way he Beamed as he waved to his Parents who were working on their farm, not knowing their only son was to return just this one time was heartbreaking. The panoramic setting of his home & the farm would add so much emotion to the tragedy that followed (his death). David Doremus was great in that role. Wished his role would continue. But Michael aka Hobie explained GW's death was a necessary conflict for the show during that period. I think Judy might've mentioned something similar in previous videos.

Loved seeing the cast back together. I especially loved seeing the man who played GW. I am one of those heartbroken fans who cried when he died. I think I mentioned this on a different video but I'm almost certain Rose was Olivia's cousin and was referred to as Cousin Rose and not Aunt Rose. I wish one more Walton reunion episode could be made but I know that it's probably not going to happen. This show was a big part of my childhood and I continue to watch it often as an adult. I was given the box set many years ago and have seen every episode numerous times. It never gets old. Thank you for this video.

Thank you so much Judy, for sharing this with us, it was so fun seeing you all together and listening

[@judynorton2598]

Thank you for taking us along with you on this journey. I would go as far and say it was therapeutic for me. The portraits were amazing and beautiful. Loved the interactions. I don't think I heard anyone mention anything about Verdie. I thought she was a great addition and played an important role with the Waltons. Thanks again, ❤ you.

[@judynorton2598]

I totally agree! She is still living, although I believe her health is deteriorating.

Happy to hear that.

Thank you so much for sharing the Waco event! Almost felt like I was there. Hopefully some day. The portraits were amazing. Loved seeing everyone and listening to their memories. Cute wedding and it looks like MaryEllen didn't have to threaten to wham GW into dancing with her! 😉

[@judynorton2598]

Glad you had fun with this - I know we did.

A big HELLO from Ireland. The Waltons for me brings back so many fond memories of my childhood and watching this television series makes me feel warm inside. My mother and father sat myself, my brother and sister down on a Sunday and we watched the Waltons. I'm a grandad now with 3 very young and wonderful grandkids and in time I will introduce them to the Waltons. My parents still watch the Waltons from time to time and sometimes when I'm a little bit stressed with everyday life I just sit back with my wife and we watch it. It was more than just a TV show to me personally, it was a warm family show about a very loving family. Thank you and to your wonderful family on and off the screen ❤

[@judynorton2598]

Thank you so much. I so touched to know that you have shared The Waltons with your whole family.

[@mimiashford5544]

What a wonderful honoring and testament to the lasting legacy, power and influence of such a wholesome, endearing and lovely show that's touched the hearts and minds of SO MANY OF US. The Waltons stands the test of time and simply can't be replicated today. Thank God we have it in perpetuity to show our own children and grands. The fact that you've all remained so close and 'normal' (with regards to the chaos & degerency that Hollywood & entertainment-in-general has become) in the ensuing years shows just how deep the values & morals of the show affect ALL involved. Thank you, Judy, for giving those of us who can't be at these reunions, a nice glimpse into them.

[@judynorton2598]

Thank you for your kind comments.

[@ronmack1767]

Enjoyed the video Judy. Thanks for producing the video of the event. Take care and God bless.

[@judynorton2598]

My pleasure. Thanks for watching.

The Waltons was a staple in my house growing up in the 70s. My favourites were Johnboy and Mary Ellen. My dad was quite strict and we were only allowed to watch BBC1 when he was at home! My absolute favourite program of all time. Much love from Moira in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🫶👏💜

[@rosewalker-cz3tj]

My family is from Scotland and I had an older sister whos name was Moira...It not a usual name in Canada but I know it is there...

[@judynorton2598]

Thank you so much.

[@noreenp.9858]
