      When Erin parks the car in the beginning, it rolls backwards after she steps out of it, meaning she forgot to set the parking brake.
    • Quotes

      Narrator: [narration as John 'John Boy' Walton, Jr. reading from his journal] As World War Two ranged around the globe, the peace and quiet surrounding Waltons Mountain seemed even more precious. Throughout the nation Americans worked together to maintain freedom and a way of life that had made our country great. Holding down an important job in a defense plant was my sister Erin's contribution and she highly resented anything that interfered with it.
