"The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet" was a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1952 to 1966, making it one of the longest-running live-action sitcoms in U.S. television history. The show starred the real-life Nelson family: Ozzie Nelson, Harriet Nelson, and their sons, David and Ricky. It originally began as a radio show before transitioning to television, where it enjoyed immense popularity. The wholesome portrayal of family life, combined with a touch of humor, made it a cornerstone of classic television.

Ricky Nelson, the youngest son, became a teen idol during the show's run. He launched a successful music career, with hits like "Teenage Idol," "Hello Mary Lou," and "Travelin' Man." His performances on the show often showcased his musical talent, further boosting his popularity.

Ricky Nelson had a long, successful career as a recording artist and, tragically, died in the crash-landing of his band's DC-3 on December 31, 1985. He was 45.

Bentley and I met at Tim Hortons and he received our handoff of the Alskog brooch etc.. It turned out Clive was there so joined us with his friend Rod. Both are avid cyclists now, among other things. Clive owned a Beechcraft V-tail Bonanza V-35a back in the 80s. After I left to be with my invalid wife at home, Bentley sent this update after Terry joined them.

Slipped the Surly Bonds by Bill 4.6 Million views

Dear Parlee family members and close friends.

I was deeply saddened to hear about your loss. Please accept my heartfelt condolences during this difficult time.
Here are few of my remembrances of Arnold:

Back in the 70s Arnold was well known at Victoria Airport CYYJ. Rumors were as an airline pilot he once flew B747s. This is unconfirmed to me but he sure knew a lot about airplanes and flying.

Arnold was my first flight instructor when going for my private pilot licence in 1978 at Flight Centre Aviation FBO at CYYJ. He was a bit of a task-master in his teaching methods but perhaps wanted to see right away if a student had the 'right stuff". Not everyone can be taught to fly airplanes; one has to bring something of themselves to complete the mission.

This flier passed the test and went on to own two airplanes before hanging it up in 1985. Firstly, was a Piper Cherokee PA28-160 then the Mooney M20e Super 21.

Sometime around 1990, my employer wanted me to go to the Ellehammer Industries site in Tumwater, WA to checkout a client's job site. He hired Arnold to fly me there. Arnold was to borrow Bent Reinecker's Beechcraft Model 76 Duchess but when Arnold flashed up the twin-engines in the hangar he heard something he didn't like.

He surmised the left engine had a cracked cylinder wall. Bent later confirmed this was the case. We then went over and rented a C172 from the Victoria Flying Club. Arnold got us to KOLM in Tumwater and safely back to CYYJ.

It was well known, Arnold knew a thing-or-two about airplanes!

It turns out Arnold was only 20 days younger than me so I'm aware my time on Earth is also running out. We hope to see Arnold again in Paradise where we'll live forever — throughout Eternity. RIP
Bill

High Flight
BY JOHN GILLESPIE MAGEE JR.
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
of sun-split clouds,--and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of--wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air ....

This photo features a man wearing a red shirt, giving a thumbs up. He appears to be a middle-aged man with a slight smile on his face. The man is standing in front of a building, possibly a bank, as suggested by the presence of a bank sign in the background. The scene seems to be captured in a dark environment, with the man being the main focus of the image.
