    At age 75, I watched "Ozzie & Harriet" from its beginning in 1952 & loved it! Years later, 1973, my
    family became one of the 1200 "Nielsen" ratings families in the U.S. where what we watched
    determined how T.V. shows are rated & whether they should stay on the air! When Ozzie had his
    second series "Ozzie's Girls" on in 1975, we made sure that our television was always on the show,
    to give it the best chance of survival! Unfortunately, we did not know that Ozzie was ill then & the
    show could not continue! Americans my age will always remember "The Nelson's"! R.I.P. Ozzie,
    Harriet, David & Ricky!

    Ricky Nelson actually played the drums and he sang "I'm Walking" on his parents's TV show in April 1957 when he was 16, almost 17 years old. He was an excellent drummer, guitar player, and singer. He was an excellent actor and comedian, too. David Nelson was an excellent older brother to Rick. When Rick Nelson turned 18, he insisted on having people call him "Rick" instead of "Ricky," but most people didn't listen to him. David Nelson was an excellent actor, comedian, and singer. He was also a very good guitar player.

    My mom was a big fan of Ricky and as a teen wrote to his fan club and they sent her an autographed picture, however she had 6 younger siblings and one of her two little brothers drew all over it and ruined it. Then in the 80s after watching the show I got into him and had his music on cassette I had no idea until after I was a fan of the band Nelson that they were his twin sons. I think it's such a loss anytime regardless of fame dies young in accidents.

      Rick's death was made all the worse because of the false rumors that his DC-3 plane caught fire due to his free-basing cocaine. A very thorough investigation revealed that a heater on the plane malfunctioned and started the fire. In addition, the two pilots survived the crash on New Year's Eve 1985 and were found to not have adequately warned the passengers that the plane was in trouble and taken the necessary steps to try and get everyone off when the plane crashed and then burst into flames outside DeKalb, Texas (on its way to Dallas)

They are the most pleasant, polite, down to earth young men who are very respectful to their fans. The posed for photos, signed autographs, asked the questions about their fans, and never rushed the fans through the meet and greet reception. They remained until everyone was able to go through the line. Their tribute concert was wonderful and the song Just Once More is absolutely beautiful.

Rick Nelson married Kristin Harmon, but they got divorced after they had 4 children because she was an alcoholic. David Nelson married June Blair. I have over episodes of "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet" and "The Nelson Family" on dvds. They're a lot of fun to watch!!

    My wife & I watched every episode and we were sad when it came to an end. The show had morals something the lacks today. As luck would have it Kris he bother Mark and wife Pam Dobler eat at a diner (Zinn's Diner) I owned on 06/03/1993! Unfortunately, I missed seeing them by only minutes. I had such a CRUSH on Kris as a kid, so it was a drag I missed seeing her.

      Rick Nelson's divorce from Kris Harmon was incredibly acrimonious. Rick ultimately had to do concerts in even the smallest venues just to come up with alimony and child support payments. Kris Harmon even fought with the family after Rick's death over his life insurance

    I read the article on the plane crash of Eric (aka Ricky) Nelson shortly after it happened.
    >>> It had nothing to do with a faulty heater: the plane's CG (center of gravity) was too far aft (i.e., to the rear) at the time of take-off; and, the plane, thus, could not generate enough lift to climb out.
    The article concluded that there were too many people piled into the back of the plane.
    (The pilot should have known better: but, with Nelson giving the orders, the pilot did as he was told.)

      The weight and balance was ok
      Due to material shortages, the war time
      DC 3s substituted magnesium for aluminum in some of the structural members, particularly the fuselage
      The faulty cabin heater started
      smoking and the pilots did their best to bring the bird down quickly but highly combustible magnesium is a little quicker
