Earl Hamner Jr.: The Narrator

Quotes 

• Narrator : [narration as John 'John Boy' Walton, Jr. reading from his journal]  Between two people in a good marriage there develops a kind of silent communication. Each knows what to expect of the other, when to offer strength, where to step lightly. It is this kind of predictability that makes the occasional surprise shine all the brighter in memory.
