Goofs
Mary Ellen tells Cindy that all of the Walton children and John Curtis slept in the wooden cradle. This isn't true. John Boy made that cradle for Olivia when she was pregnant in the second season, because they had given away all of the baby things after Elizabeth was born. John Curtis did sleep in it, but none of the Walton children did.

Quotes
Narrator: [narration as John 'John Boy' Walton, Jr. reading from his journal] In each of our lives, if we're lucky, we encounter a few extraordinary people who forever alter our perceptions and color our thoughts. They become the touchstones of our lives. In the spring of 1944 my sister, Elizabeth, came to know one of these special people.
