This truly was a wonderful event that has been going on for many years! Here are some pics ( taken by Big Bruno!  Here goes..There was meet & greet on Friday night November 6 between 4-6pmEST in the  hostess suite . There I met different people that were attending the reunion. Then around 5:00 Carolyn,(she organizes the Walton event) announces Jon Walmsley (he played Jason ) will be stopping by at 6:00. Around 6:00pm EST as promised Jon stopped by.The next day all where to meet at the  Schuyler Baptist Church for a very special day at 10 pm. First,when the bell rang,  the church doors flew open&Mr Earl shouted, come on in!  Everyone enjoyed the beautiful musics played by Jon - he played and sang Sweet By-and-by, Beulah Land and just to see and hear Earl Hamner recite Oh Little Town Of Bethlehem was awesome!The best surprise of all was meting  the Hamner siblings Paul,Audrey,Nancy . Afterwards ,everyone gathered in front of the house,to hear stories from Earl & Jon .The house was incredible ! I had a chance to go into the home before everyone! The house was recently refurbished by the new owners. It was gorgeous.(see pics above)  Now the evening was the best of all ,before the guest of honor arrived, Jon Walmsley was incredible, he sang many songs from the Walton Christmas Album, and also treated us with a Beatles song. Jon 's wife, Marion, recited Silent Night in German and Jon played guitar along with her.  Earl Hamner also spoke and told wonderful stories of Christmas and  Will Geer ,then ...Santa Claus came and distributed toys to all the children ! What a night!!
