Prologue:

"I cannot believe that life can be more generous than it was to me when I was a young writer, living in New York City and in love wih a girl named Janet. Janet was from Iowa, now an Editor at a fashion magazine. She was convinced that when I was working, I'd forget to eat."

Synopsis:

John-Boy and Janet are to be married, but plans threaten to get out of control when Janet's Aunt Flo puts herself in charge of the arrangements. Back on the mountain, John's entry into local politics creates a charge of "conflict of interests", and Olivia is nervous when she signs on for a course in American Studies at Boatwright. Grandma is furious when a dark secret about her father is exposed.

Epilogue:

  "And so it was that a folkesy, fertile clan from the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia was united with the distinguished family from Iowa. Janet's father would be happy to know that in spite of some lean times, Janet and John-Boy never had to live on chitlings and moonshine whisky. It was a fine wedding, and the memory of that day is still warm and wonderful, and will stay with us always."

Show Notes:

  • This is the last appearance of Ike and Corabeth Godsey
  • John-Boy and Janet first met at the Algonquin Hotel in New York City.
  • The house that the Gilchrist's retire to in Davenport, Iowa on 1206 East River Drive is in 'real-life' the home that was once owned by Earl Hamner's wife (Jane). The house once served as the Fulton's Landing Bed and Breakfast.
