The passing of Earl Hamner Jr.

[MichaelWinicki]

If you ever watched "The Waltons" or "Falcon Crest" or one of the southern-themed episodes of the "Twilight Zone" then you watched something written by Earl Hamner Jr., who's own story formed the basis of "The Waltons". It was his voice at the beginning and ending of every episode.

He passed away on March 24th.

I gotta say I enjoyed just about everything the guy wrote... He was one heck of a story-teller.

He lived a long and fruitful life... a big part of my childhood...
