Here's another one Tom Beetz obtained for me in person at the July 2010 Hollywood Show. I'd actually asked him to get one of Robert Fuller in the "Emergency" tv show, but he instead got this of Robert Fuller from the "Laramie" tv show. I don't know if that was the only selection at Mr. Fuller's table or not.

This was the very first original Mouseketeer that I was able to meet. Annette Funicello debuted her line of collectable teddy bears at Disneyland in June 1992. She had a feature article in "Teddy Bear & Friends" magazine August 1992 issue which she was also on the cover and it came out in time for me to take it with me in June. I couldn't purchase any of her bears at that time, but did have a "60 Years With You" Mickey Mouse doll which I also took with me, I had her sign both items that I'd brought.

Bobby Burgess was the second original Mouseketeer I was able to meet. He toured with the Lawrence Welk All-Stars which made a stop in Clearwater, FL in Feb. 1997. By this time I'd been able to purchase a "Bobby Mousekebear" from Annette Funicello's teddy bear company and had Bobby sign the foot after the show.

Doreen Tracey was the third original Mouseketeer I was able to meet. This took place for the "Baby-Boom Bazaar" show at the Coliseum in St. Petersburg, FL over Memorial Day weekend in 1998. This was also the first time I didn't experience the nervous excitement that usually comes with meeting a celebrity, which was really nice.

The Mickey Mouse Club had several popular seriels; "The Hardy Boys", 3 "Spin and Marty" stories, "Corky and White Shadow" and "Annette". Roberta Shore was in the "Annette" seriel as Annette's nemesis. I attended the Orlando Autograph Show on Oct. 3, 1999 in order to meet original Mouseketeer Lonnie Burr. He and Doreen were supposed to have been there but both were no-shows. I was, however able to meet Roberta Shore, who expressed to me her disappointment that Doreen wasn't there.

In 1998 I was able to learn from Doreen Tracey of a website dedicated to the original Mickey Mouse Club Mouseketeers.....www.MouseStars.com. When Lonnie Burr didn't make the Orlando Autograph Show in Oct. 1999, I sent him an e-mail through this website, expressing my disappointment that he wasn't there. He responded with an e-mail with apologies and explained that he had another autograph show closer to home at the same time. Amazed that he would personally respond, I developed a "pen pal" friendship with him. In 2002 I mailed him a Mickey Mouse Club themed postcard that I'd purchased at Disney World. He responed by mailing me this photo of himself which he signed and dated.

With these signed items, along with some photos I'd taken at some of these events I attended, I started putting together my own Mickey Mouse Club scrapbook. The first one got so full, I needed to start a second one. Then I did a third one strictly for the seriels, and the fourth one for the Mouseketeers 50th Anniversary Reunion at Disneyland in Oct. 2005. This all started when I purchased the "Official Mickey Mouse Club Book" by Lorraine Santoli which came out in 1995 for the 40th anniversary of the show. It tells the history of the Mickey Mouse Club and contains photos including the seriels and the televised 25th Anniversary which aired in 1980. After reading the book I thought it would be really cool if I could obtain as many autographs as I possibly could of those whose pictures appeared in it. After 15+ years I think I succeeded, and with pictures supplied to me for my scrapbooks from other Mouseketeer fans.

in June 2003 I was watching CNN when they were reporting on the Alpine wildfire which was taking place in Arizona at the time. They interviewed this resident of the area that was ravaged by the fire and his name, Don Underhill, was vaguely familiar. After checking my Lorraine Santoli book and MouseStars.com, I came to realize he was another original Mouseketeer. I printed out this page from MouseStars.com, found an address online for Don to write to him and sent this page to him, asking verification that he was the Mouseketeer I thought. He responded by signing and returning this page confirming his identity.  He lost everything in that wildfire and I headed up replacing the MMC memorabilia he'd also lost. I never expected him to express his desire in coming to my home to meet me and thank me in person the following year!

When Don Underhill finally paid me a visit in Nov. 2004, this is one of several photos with him in, that I had him sign.
