Episode Quotes

Season 2 / Episode 20: - The Cradle

Narrator: [narration as John 'John Boy' Walton, Jr. reading from his journal] The Depression years were hard ones for just about everybody in the country. Our family had little money and few luxuries but we did have food on the table and clean clothes to wear, even if they were mostly hand-me-downs, and a bountiful supply of love to sustain our household. Other families were not as fortunate as we were and I remember how my mother and father occasionally invited a child from the Jefferson County Orphanage to share our life on Waltons Mountain.
