When I first got on the internet in 1996, I started searching for information about The Waltons. To my surprise, I could find nothing on the internet about my favorite TV show. One of the first online fans I found was Karen Kearney, who lives in Australia. Karen and I met through a Little House on the Prairie mailing list and we discovered that we shared a mutual interest in The Waltons as well. Karen created her Waltons webpage and soon started her Waltons digest. It was through Karen's digest that I found many other online Waltons fans. Unfortunately, I have not met Karen in person yet...maybe someday. However, I did get to meet several other online fans at the reunion.
Dorothy and Glenn from Canada. Dorothy (DotP) has a Waltons chat room on IRC. |
Karen and Scott and their daughters Courtney and Haley, from North Carolina. I first met Scott through the Walton forum. He and I are also members of The Waltons Loop.
|
Cindy and Joe and their children and Cindy's mother, from New York. Cindy started the Waltons Loop. |
Dean and Jenni from Indiana. Jenni and I met through the Waltons Loop.
|
Cindy, Jenni, and me |
Lynn from West Virginia. Lynn (aka Lynno or WVMountainmamma) and I met through DotP's Chatroom. She and I are practically neighbors!
|
Several fans on the forum planned to eat lunch together Saturday at the Dew Drop Inn in Scottsville. |
Leon from Tennessee and Vonda and her husband Paul from Virginia were there. Carl and his mother from Tennessee were also there. I regret that I did not take a photo of them. |
