‘Mickey Mouse Club’ star Annette Funicello dies at 70
Annette Funicello, the dark-haired darling of TV’s “The Mickey Mouse Club” in the 1950s who further cemented her status as a pop-culture icon in the ’60s by teaming with Frankie Avalon in a popular series of “beach” movies, died Monday. She was 70.
Funicello, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1987 and became a spokeswoman for treatment of the chronic, often-debilitating disease of the central nervous system, died at Mercy Southwest Hospital in Bakersfield, Calif., Walt Disney Co. spokesman Howard Green said.
Funicello and her husband, Glen Holt, had moved from the Los Angeles area after a 2011 fire gutted their home in Encino. - 4-6 Calendar

Plenty of history, inspiration to be found in Alton, Ill.
If you’re Alton, Ill., just north and across the river from St. Louis, it’s easy to get overshadowed. That’s a shame because Alton is a cool little town with a great history and worthy of exploration. I met Alton’s public relations director, Jong Cambron, at a media marketplace and he told me enough about the town to convince me I needed to visit.
