| 12-23-2013 If you like to take a look behind the scences of the filming of "The Homecoming" watch the following home video of Kami Cotler's family. From 14:53 you can watch the filming of the very well known scene when the children come along through the snow with a cow. Of course, the quality of this private video does not meet current requirements, but it is worth watching Kami Cotler and the others when they build a snowman. How small they have been then ! The actor David Huddleston, who played Sheriff Ep Bridges in "The Homecoming", remembers in the beginning of the film about the shooting. Many thanks to Barbara and Kami Cotler for providing the video and Ray Castro for uploading on youtube. | ||

11-06-2013 10-24-2013 10-20-2013 Today, the Waltons Reunion has come to an end. Unfortunately, time has passed far too fast and it was once again time to say goodbye to so many dear people who became friends in time. 10-19-2013 We have uploaded a few photos of the Meet & Greet yesterday afternoon ( go to Reunion/Reunion 2013). Unfortunately our camera had some problems so we lost some photos. Hope it will work better today. It was such a great pleasure to meet David Harper, Deidre Lenihan, Michael McGreevey and Angel Rhoades again. Unfortunately Hal Williams could not attend the reunion due to some health issue. We all hope he will be well very soon. Now we are going to Schuyler to see the former home of Earl Hamner, the Walton museum which celebrates their 21 Anniversary today and much more. And this evening we will have a wonderful banquet together in memory of Joe Conley. 09-10-2013 The Waltons family reunited! Photo printed with kindly permission of Mary McDonough ! Thank you, Mary ! 08-12-2013 Information for the Walton fans who are planning to take part of the Waltons Appreciation Cruise in October: This was posted on the Cruise Facebook on August 5th: This are very disappointed news for all of the fans who already have paid their trip. What a shame ! 07-16-2013 Eric Scott and Joe Conley shared a very close friendship for more than 35 years. At the funeral service Eric Scott held a very touching eulogy for Joe which can be read here in excerpts. Many thanks to Eric Scott for his touching words and for his kind permission to publish his eulogy on our website. 07-10-2013 Joy and sorrow are sometimes so close together: Today is a very special day for the man who created THE WALTONS. Without him there won´t be any Waltons on tv or in our hearts. The wonderful and unique Earl Hamner celebrates his 90th birthday today ! Happy Birthday, Earl ! We wish you every happiness on your special day and God bless you !!! 07-09-2013 Here is a wonderful video with Joe Conley, interviewed by Ray Castro about 1 1/2 year ago. Thank you Ray for share your video with us.
Start with your virtual trip to Schuyler and area! We have uploaded the first virtual tours, these you can find at Reunion 2013 "Virtual tours". More virtual tours coming soon ...
Here are now the photos of the Reunion Dinner 2013! 
The fan meeting was a great success. We had a very relaxed and nice weekend with four wonderful cast members who let you feel like being a good friend. This reunion was dedicated to Joe Conley who is greatly been missed.
We have now added more pictures of the reunion. The next pictures will follow shortly.
Warm Walton wishes from the Walton Reunion 2013 !
On 04 September, all members of the Waltons family (yes, all - including Richard Thomas, Michael Learned and Ralph Waite !) and of course the creator Earl Hamner came together on the studio lot of Warner Bros. for a reunion picture for Entertainment Weekly magazine followed by an article. The article and the photo will be published on Oct. 11th. !
Afterwards Good Morning America had an interview with all the cast members and they also produced a video of this event. Both will be shown on TV in October ( in the week of Oct. 11th).
We are sure that both will also be found on youtube or on the website of Good Morning America. We will inform you accordingly. Great!
One or maybe more autographed pictures of the Waltons will soon be auctioned by Mary McDonough on ebay. Mary will share this on her Facebook page in due time.
Hello all Waltons fans, CruiseOne has been organizing the Waltons Cruise since July 2012. Unfortunately over half of the 250+ people who had said that they were traveling on the cruise have not & did not actually pay. Yesterday Sunday 4 August 2013 was the last day for the receipt of full payment, before guests who had paid, would have lost their deposit. That was a scenario that simply would not have been fair to those guests who had paid.
The Waltons fee element of the fare, was to be used to meet the cost of the six cast members traveling on the cruise. Because so many people had not paid, CruiseOne did not have sufficient funds to accommodate all the cast members & they in turn did not want a few cast members travelling on the cruise and the remainder left behind . Therefore it was decided after waiting as long as we could for guests to pay & with immense regret, that the Waltons element of the cruise would have to be cancelled.
We are extremely sorry about this however it was essential that those guests who had paid, had the option of getting their money back . As stated earlier, yesterday Sunday 4 August 2013 was the last day on which paid guests could request a full refund of the cruise payment. Hence CruiseOne could not wait any longer for those who had not paid & a decision had to be made.
The decision was not made lightly but the reality of the situation was, that the lack of payment made what was going to be a wonderful event, financially untenable.
CruiseOne extends its profound regret for the disappointment this decision is certain to cause all those Waltons fans who paid for the cruise and supported us in this venture.
We fully understand those who have expressed anger but sincerely thank those whose messages have been measured, reasonable & understanding.
CruiseOne would also like to thank all the Waltons actors who had agreed to participate in the Walton Appreciation Cruise.
