The Waltons (Mary Ellen's Husbands)
Windsor A. Morgan
Replace "COM" with "edu" to reply to me.
In the series "The Waltons", Mary Ellen is married to Dr. Curtis ??,
who is the father of her son John Curtis ??. The elder Curtis is
supposedly killed at Pearl Harbor, but then I remember seeing an
episode in which Mary Ellen hears that Curtis is alive somewhere down
South. I didn't see any immediately subsequent episodes.
I recently watched a Mother's Day special, in which it is said that
Mary Ellen was divorced, presumably from Dr. Curtis ?? (at the
beginning of the special, Mary Ellen is marrying "Jonesey", a
veterinarian).
What were the circumstances with Curtis' disappearance? Why didn't he
contact The Waltons (A Lorimar Production :-).

If I remember correctly, Curt became impotent from his injuries received
during the attack on Pearl Harbor. Thus he felt he could not perform
spousal duties and Mary-Ellen would be better off without him. After
seeing her in the latest Walton's special (where John-Boy's babies are
born) I would be happy to volunteer. Judy Norton (Norton-Taylor?) has
turned out to be VERY attractive!!

For some reason, Windsor A. Morgan was chatting and out came these words of greatness:

Ok, my grandfather watches this everyday and I try to avoid it, but I did
catch these episodes.
During the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Dr. Curtis is wounded. After
recovering, he goes awol and hids to the south (forgot where) where he
meets a woman (the one who tells Mary Ellen about him). He is filled with
self pity and rather anoying IMO. Mary Ellen goes back and finds him, but
he refuses to admit that he knows her. By the end of the episode, we
learn that he lost the ability to father children from the wounds and that
is the basis for is atitude problem. Mary Ellen finally gets through to
him and tells him she wants a divorce. He goes gets the hook up with the
other woman and Mary Ellen goes back to the mountain and tries to patch up
her relationship with her boyfriend (the verterinarian?)
This may not be 100% accurate, it's been a few months since I saw the
episode and I'm not a big fan anyway (although I do watch it on occasion,
it's just not my style).

down the slopes and leaping over the streams, out from caves and the
hollows of trees and suburban tract homes, impelled by powers greater
then their own to gain an education."

Many of us once believed that what we saw on THE
WALTONS was probably what America was really like. <blush>
But to the question. I thought that Dr. Curtis Willard
(played by Tom Bower) *died* during the Japanese raid upon
Pearl Harbor. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Later (in the final regular series [season]), Mary
Ellen met someone named Jonesy (Arlington Wescott Jones --
played by Richard Gilliland) while she was attending college
or university, studying medicine. She married him in one of
the three made-for-telly films that NBC aired after the
programme was cancelled.
God forgive me for knowing this.
