when my mom was p.g. with me, my dad wanted my name to be Annette Funicello-Hutchins. Mom said over her dead body! I've followed Annette all my life and I used to watch her on micky mouse club re-runs. I was diagnosed with m.s. a week before annette finally went public about her diagnosis. Thought it was kinda weird that this day in history August 7 (my diagnosis 15 years ago) and 1963 (the year I was born)hhhmmmm.......
