Yes, Earl Hamner Jr.'s mother, Doris Hamner, contracted polio when she was a young girl. This condition influenced Earl's writing and the portrayal of family life in his works, particularly in "The Waltons," where themes of resilience and family bonds are prominent. Her experiences and challenges helped shape the values and stories he shared through his characters.
