Thanks to Danny and Holden for the contest. It was worth the wait. This made up for Sheriff John not reading my name and singing the Birthday song.

Then this just might make you jealous John, in about 1963 or 64? the Mickey Mouse Club Show went into syndicated reruns with some new features. One of these features was to be a drawing in which you were to fill out your personal info. on the back of a (wax paper) "Twin Popsicle" wrapper and send it in. If they chose your name in the drawing you won a trip to Disneyland for you & your family but most of all you needed to listen in because they would announce your name on the air! I WON! I WON! I WON! They indeed announced my name! I was a star for at least 2 days!!! We had to buy 1 extra ticket, they only gave tickets for a family of 4 as though anyone in the '50's & early '60's had a family of less than 3 kids in it. I would love to know if there is a way to get a copy of the show with the announcement in it?
I miss local syndicated shows, in the mean time John, here's something for you:
Romper stomper bomper boo! tell me, tell me, tell me who? I see little John out there he is watching Engineer Bill and playing "Red Light Green Light" with a tiki mug of rum?? So put another candle on your birthday cake dude! I'm a Honorary Mouseketeer! :P (almost as good as winning this contest? a close second anyway? Naw.....!)
