    She was on the original Mickey Mouse Club and every boy in America was in love with her. She died today at age 70 from complications from Mutile Sclerosis.

    Oh, that is so sad. She lived valiantly with MS for over 21 years.

    The program was a favorite with many kids growing up. I know I sat in front of the TV watching the test pattern, waiting for the Mickey Mouse Club to come on. Annette was everyones Mouseketeer. Her enthusiasm provided the spirit of the show. A lot of kids stayed glued to the TV just to watch her. She will be missed.

    Yes that was sad to hear. But I never missed a Mickey Mouse show when I was a kid. She was a special lady. :stew1:
