The Waltons1971

Narrator:
[narration as John 'John Boy' Walton, Jr. reading from his journal] When we were growing up on Waltons Mountain, Sundays were very special. Six days a week overalls and sneakers were the family uniform, but on the seventh day we got out our "Sunday go to Meeting" best, shined and scrubbed, and brushed and polished. Getting ready to go to church was as much of a ritual as the services once we got there. I remember one February Sunday that began like any other, but ended in the gravest crisis our family ever faced, a crisis that threatened the sheltered life we'd taken for granted, and tested our belief in God's mercy.
