How I remembered their look back in 1981 checking-in.

Listen to poem:

Ricky Nelson, T-shirt, and khaki pants, Four a.m. check-in, big wigs are my job, With a grain of salt, 'it's my life I snub, A chosen degree, and the good lord grants, He asked what type of room would I give them, Wife had a t-shirt that dropped to her knees, "The Bell Tower, our bridal suite, sign please," His band doubled-up, as a rule of thumb, I would learn a year later, they broke up, At the time, they both were very charming, And she's sister to actor Mark Harmon, By the way, that suite was 1k a pop! Rick and his band would die in a plane crash, (1985) And his wife of that time died in New Mex. (2018) Date: 08/26/2019

True, though gone, that moment still in me--apparently, thanks, Kim ~ William
