Permit this Hackwhacker a little nostalgic moment. One of the original Mouseketeers, Cheryl Holdridge, died January 6 at age 64 (!) after a long battle with lung cancer. Cheryl and fellow Mousketeer (and later bad girl) Darlene Gillespie were the cause of certain ... "stirrings" in my pre-pubescent life (had I been a little older, I could've said they were the only Mouseketeers to make me moist. Annette Funicello? Fuggettaboutit!) After leaving the Mouseketeers, she apparently had a successful and, by all accounts, mostly happy life, and was well thought of by her friends and fans.
