I travel to or near Charlottesville often and every time I think about the show.
Now 71 and starring as lawyer Atticus Finch in a touring production of “To Kill a Mockingbird,” Thomas said he still hears fans call “Good night, John-Boy!” after each performance.

I loved that show, not least because being a teenager who wanted to be a writer was 1) respected and 2) validated by the fact the ‘writer’ was the adult narrator ostensibly reading from his own book.

Didn’t really get into The Waltons but I’m still hooked on Little House On The Prairie.
Go figure.
