Quotes:

Narrator: [narration as John 'John Boy' Walton, Jr. reading from his journal] It was a time when our family world seemed to be in constant motion. The movement of people to and from the mountain contrasted sharply with the serenity we had known there for so many years. Perhaps because we were so close to it we didn't recognise the certain signs that an old era was ending, and a new day we couldn't even envision was in its dawning.
