Kim, I love this poem. Watching The Walton's - The Homecoming: A Christmas Story with gifted actors Patricia Neal and Richard Thomas is a yearly holiday treat. -Richard

Thank you! And this sister’s name was Amy which also went along nicely with the spoof SNL did of the Walton’s using instead the Carter White House...goodnight Amy.
