Episode Quotes

Season 3 / Episode 11: - The Book

Narrator: [narration as John 'John Boy' Walton, Jr. reading from his journal] As a family living on Waltons Mountain during the '30s we were largely self-sufficient and had little dependence on cash money. Still, as I ventured out into the larger world, I realised that making ends meet was going to be a far greater problem than I had anticipated. I set about looking for a part-time job, one which would pay me an adequate wage, and at the same time, not interfere too much with my studies.
