The Narrator
- Narrator: [narration as John 'John Boy' Walton, Jr. reading from his journal] Waltons Mountain had been in our family for generations, a silent witness to all the bright and wonderful days I knew as a boy. If mountains remember events then, surely, it must treasure, as I do, the memory of that day during the Depression when my sister, Mary Ellen, got into a fight after school and the events that followed.
- Narrator: When we were living through them, we called them bad times and thought that we were poor. Only after we had all grown up were we to realize what good times they had been and how very rich we were.
