Hi, Sam,
What an informational and inspirational article regarding your Dad and grandparents! Who would have known what enormous impact they made for us Baby Boomers and our children, etc......Our American culture------and surely those of other nations-----would not be the same if not for THE NELSONS!!! Thanks for "sharing" this article.......take care. Melinda Moore
Hi Sam,
What a wonderful article! Rick deserves so much credit than he ever received. I feel so blessed to have known Rick and attended many concerts. While I was Presdient of his fan club I was also lucky enough to meet Kris, Ozzie and Harriet and David and of course Gunnar and Matthew. If only our children and grandchildren had some "family" TV shows this world would be a better place!
I am so happy to be part of the Revival of Ozzie and Harriet!! I look forward to every update.
Sam, received the t-shirt yesterday. It's a birthday present for my brother. So glad to see it! Thanks for making this happen!
