Santa Visits CCTV:
A special holiday program, "Talk to Santa," will be aired live on Concord Community TV

My wife works on Wednesday and Thursday nights, and that's what my two sons consider "Boys Night!". Here is a "recipe" the three of us came up with one night. It has been a staple of boys night ever since.

SLOPPY DOUGHS

Ingredients:

• 1 lb. Ground Beef
• Sloppy Joe Mix or Prego Spaghetti Sauce
• Shredded Cheese (Chedda makes it Betta!)
• 2 cans of refrigerator biscuits

Preheat oven to 375-400

Brown the ground beef and drain. Mix the sauce or sloppy joe mix into the ground beef. While you are preparing the meat filling, the kids can open the biscuits. Their favorite part is when the container POPS open. Have them flatten out 10 biscuits onto a cookie sheet.

I am 80 years young and finally finished a book for my sons and friends called As I Remember, a copy of which is in the Concord Room of the Concord Public Library. I wanted them to know how my mother and dad met and about our family life in Concord over these many years.
Then came the questions: Where was this building located? What was where this parking lot is now? And on and on . . .
I recently started working on a new fun project: scanning old pictures of Concord and then taking pictures of the area as it now stands, not unlike

"Oh, I'm sorry -- I thought you were my girlfriend."
