MOUSEKETEER CHERYL HOLDRIDGE

One of the 'Mouseketeers' has died. I came along a little late to enjoy, Annette, Tommy, Doreen, and the rest when they were in first run, but CKVR or CBLT replayed The Mickey Mouse Club in the early to mid 1970s at noon hour. This is when I was contaminated by that theme song, which the gang sang in the utmost earnestness making it even more sticky. Walt Disney sure knew how to market an empire.

Cheryl Holdridge died at the age of 64. Like most my age, I remember her more for her intermittent role in Leave it to Beaver. Now there is a show for the ages.
