Hello Lonnie - you are a very thoughtful man! I enjoyed your essay on the "meaning of being a Mouseketeer:". Believe me, I wanted to be one badly although I was a bit younger - like Moochie - but essentially a contemporary of you guys. I never missed a show (well probably some) in some very formative years, since I was in the first run audience. I thoroughly enjoyed the serials, and the mini documentaries. Genius stuff, I thought - yes an Omnibus-like pot pourri, but well organized. Your show, Disney in general, Mad Magazine, Ernie Kovacs - all shaped, inspired and propelled me not necessarily into a life of performance (although I did do a comedy radio show at USC in the 70's) but that of a TV writer (30 years). I wrote on the Good Old Days NBC special starring Annette and Frankie Avalon for Dick Clark in 1977. My first and only meeting with Annie - what a doll! And meeting this childhood icon - THAT I can tell you was one of the greatest thrills of my otherwise show biz jaded life. Again I thank you for your thoughtful commentary - and for your role in shaping my childhood, and my career, directly and indirectly. Sure I grew out of it, but I never thought it was maudlin or absurd. It was of its time and I loved it, then and now. And I'm a pretty cynical, been there done that kind of veteran human being.

I happen to be a very good friend of Stu Shostak, so I look forward to hearing/seeing you again on "Stu's Show". To get 3-4 hours of information, anecdotes and behind the scenes stories is amazingly unique in the media. I sometimes don't think Stu knows what he has. He's a memorializing a unique and compelling TV history. And folks like you are who I look very much forward to heaing from.

Questions for you: I'm of course very much intrigued about your relationship with Annette. It seemed to go beyond puppy love! Was she not a repressed, demure Catholic girl? Inquiring minds (who fantasized about her constantly) want to know. And the other question is, how was this thing produced. I realized it wasn't "live", but still seemed like a hell of a lot of time to fill. Even with the serials, cartoons, etc. you guys were required to do an awful lot of dancing and singing. And third, your education. You had a helluva on-set teacher, and/or you had a quality education during and after that.

Thanks for your great page. I do have your first Mouseketeer history book.. Great stuff. With my new Disney subscrption (because Hamilton, of course), I'm able to relive a lot of memories (Crockett, the first season of Spin&Marty - but they give just one week's worth of the Burr MMC. Bummer). Thankfully, via YouTube I'm able to find more Spin&Marty episodes (with Annette), the Annette serial (innocuous but a lot of great kids), the Hardy Boys. I'm 7 years old again!

Thank you sir.

Bob

hello Lonnie,

I was wondering if there would be any chance of getting a autographed photo I'm a big fan of the Mickey Mouse club after my grandmother showed me videos of it when I was growing up thank you and God bless

Hi, Lonnie! My name is Mike. I'm checking in from Danville, Pennsylvania. I've enjoyed the MMC for years and watched your shows during the 1990's when Disney Channel had Vault Disney. I had an opportunity to check out your Tribute to Annette page on this website and enjoyed it thouroughly. I really that I could have had an opportunity to meet her. I really enjoyed the movies and music that she did over the years. She gave everyone a lot of entertainment through many generations which is something we can all be grateful for. By the way, those Skippy commercials are still fresh in my mind to this day believe it or not. Hope to hear from you soon. Hope you and your loved ones are safe at this time. Your friend,Mike O'Donnell
