We remember those MICKEY MOUSE CLUB shows where cool kids sang and danced in dizzying Disney style.

Bonita Lynn Fields Elder , mouseketeer, who went on to sing and act, has died at the age of 68.

Somehow, I have those teens frozen in time; their music and innocence are woven into our collective memories. Why? Because we liked them.

Elder’s gift of offering joy through entertainment remains with us always.
