CLUB HOUSE

July 2009 UPDATE
breaking news!!

Hi, and welcome to my Clubhouse on the Web. Stay awhile.  Look for something NEW every once in a while.  Browse, remember, say hello to some old friends. Be sure to check out Roll Call, ask questions, and leave a note. 

Everyday is Anything Can Happen Day - IF you work at it!

 

 

 

UPDATE: June 30, 20

As of July 6 my memoir's price will change but still be the only copy you can obtain signed by me and - if desired - personalized to you or whomever you designate.

Now $26 delivered and signed in the U.S., due to postal changes and other considerations, it will go to $30 ONLY at my site under SPECIAL OFFERS!

Any order postmarked before July 6th will still go at $26!

 

UPDATE: I will soon begin working on an audio version of my book with me, naturally, narrating the entire volume. It will be finished later in the year and I will note here when it is available and what the price will be!

Have a great, safe 4th of July!!!

 

I had an email from an American physician who has been working in Russia for years [No, he is not a  Communist.] He and his late wife were fans from our original run before moving to a small town in the former Soviet Union. The MMC was running IN RUSSIA mid-1980s so his children were fans. Our series is NOW running in 2009 so his grandkids are fans too!!!

I am quoted in a feature article on Annie (Annette) that compares her career to Miley Cyrus: D23.disney.go.com

Did you know that Walt had the opening animation of the original MMC shot in color in anticipation of the future of TV? 

But it was broadcast in black and white as was the rest of the show.  If you have never seen the color opening, it's available on Youtube. 

There's a link at the end of my site's "The Anything Can Happen Page."
