Thanks, Eileen. I have not seen this footage for decades and it is a much better reminder than the "dialogue", even if existential, or some photos. ALL THAT HAIR! Since doing the normal receding for male or female natural blonds, I began shaving my head over a decade ago. That look is at my s i t e mouseketeer lonnie burr dot com, in its 17th year. Thanks for supporting our show. We had a Mouseketeer Eilene but the spelling was different so you are honorary MOUSEKETEER EILEEN. Lonnie
Lonnie.. I love the shaved head look! So glad to hear from you. I went to your site and had so much fun looking at your scrapbook and seeing pictures of your theater experiences. I am so glad you are well and still carrying on for the Mouseketeers. I am honored to be an honorary! I hope we meet again. In the meantime, many blessings to you... Eileen
I did not find out my name on the birth certificate is LEONARD, for my step-grandfather. I HATED IT and never used it. Most people who have known me for the last 80 years would not recognizer me as Leonard, for I have NEVER been Leonard. LONNIE!@@lonnysimmons1889
Sorry it took me so long to respond but I ADMIRE your persistence. Mouseketeer Lonnie. PS: My wife of 52 years, Diane, and I have been dealing with "herd" of doctors and health issues of our ages: I turn EIGHTY [Tommy, our only twice convicted felon who served time: Darlene & Bobby have been IN their 80s for a while. My wife is a mite younger than me but we are "keeping it together". Lonnie

At 4:33 Lonnie like all the mouseketeers give honor to Jimmie Dodd. Tommy in another MMC special said that Lonnie was the most intellectual mouseketeer , if a man like that can still have believe in the Disney vision than we all can .
You could have learned the steps and danced with us while watching the show, Annie; P.S. Annie was Annette's nickname, too. Remember Walt said on camera that anyone who watched the show and was a fan WAS a Mouseketeer. Lonnie 2019
That was part of what our series was about. "Uncle Walt" said anyone who watched the show or was a fan WAS a Mouseketeer. It's in a film clip they used to show more often. L
