He married the beautiful actress, Elyse Knox, and became the patriarch of the extensive Harmon-Nelson family. Mark played football in college, too. And I remember Ricky and David Nelson as little boys on the radio Ozzie and Harriet program. It's hard to believe so many years have flown, and it's nice to see Tom Harmon's family so good looking and active.
