In 2004, TV Guide ranked John Walton Sr. as No. 3 on its list of the 50 Greatest TV Dads of All Time.
That sort of prominence will never escape actor Ralph Waite, who portrayed Walton Sr. in the long-running "The Waltons" TV series.
Waite, who was in the Carolinas in late April filming a six-part short-form miniseries, “Old Henry,” for INSP, still walks in Walton’s shoes.

Cracked pavement, degraded creek crossings and bothersome potholes.
These are perennial problems along the county’s many roads, though county officials settled on a new way to prioritize those issues this week.
As the county’s current budget cycle comes to a close, and with no action taken on planned repairs to Kirk Air Base Road, Lancaster County Council approved a new process for handling road concerns at its Monday, June 10, meeting.

‘Old Henry’ chronicles the trials of growing old
“Old Henry,” a six-part short-format mini-series, will be aired in the same fashion as INSP’s “Moments” initiative.
Shown during primetime programming, the 90-to-120-second videos have gained a national audience with their topics, which include “Moments of Truth,” “Moments of Hope,” “Moments of Insight” and the get-out-the-tissues “Moments of Valor.” The latter is a partnership between INSP and The Medal of Honor Foundation that features Medal of Honor recipients.
