Well, I have no doubt that he did enjoy an occasional nip of the Recipe.
In later years, I remember seeing him stop by the Dew Drop Inn for an occasional beer.

I wouldnt be surprised if he was going to NANCYS

NANCYS???
I don't recall that. I haven't seen this show in years. Was that some diner that served fattening food? It couldn't be a cat house! If it was, he'd be wearing off that gut!

Him I remember. Didn't he get his supply from the Baldwins too, or did he make his own moonshine?

I think that Jason might be referring to Yancy, Miss Margo. I seem to recall a bit of an alcohol problem with that one, and an incident of drunkenly falling off a ladder with an oil lantern, and lighting the Walton’s barn up like a Christmas tree!

Edit: I see that Jason has already replied, but I had already typed up my answer.

Thanks. Yeah. He just cleared that up.
Hey! I remember that episode where he burned their barn. That was pretty good!

The Walton's didn't think so 😀

LOL! As I recall, he got the cold shoulder....at least til the end of that episode.

Olivia was ready to smack the moonshine out of him that episode
