M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E

I was a big fan of the Mickey Mouse Club as a kid. I got to meet Doreen, who at the time was my favorite, but probably the most memorable are Annette Funicello and Cubby. I also enjoyed Annette with Frankie Avalon in all the beach movies. The irony of Annette Funicello has been that she's always reminded me of my cousin Josie, and now sadly, both are suffering from MS. And I have to say both are very STRONG women who do not let their illnesses control their lives and still do what they love doing instead of feeling sorry for myself. MS is a horrible disease, and if you ever have the opportunity, its definitely a worthwhile cause to donate to. I'm extremely honored to have Annette's autograph in my collection.
