Positive Moment

You would think that with the holiday season in full swing that it would be easy to find positive news in the paper. Well, after reading three newspapers this morning I have found only one, so I will report on that with the hope that in future days more will appear.

This wil be the 40th anniversary of "A Charlie Brown Christmas". It has become a classic along with Rudolph and "Its a Wonderful life". It is a fact that the producer and the animator of the show almost did not feel it should be aired, that they had ruined Charlie Brown. But an advertising agent for Coca Cola saw it and suggested it for a Christmas special and a classic was born.

On December the 17th at noon there will be a panel discussion on the making of the special at the Schultz Museum with the producer, Lee Mendelson. Also, some of the people whose voices were used will be in attendence including Peter Robbins who was Charlie. There will be a screening of the show and a documentary on its creation.
