    Starring Pat Hazell

    In these days of healthy fanaticism, saying you eat Wonder Bread is sort of like admitting to watching three or four hours of game shows and soap operas every day. In fact, the phrase “white bread” has become a fashionable put-down, meaning that someone or something is bland or uninteresting.

    These people are too snobby and too jaded to see Wonder as the simple showcase of flavors that it is. Peanut butter and jelly on rye or whole wheat, for instance is simply a war of flavors, whereas peanut butter and jelly on Wonder are perfect harmony.

    Slice of life humor requires the same delicate recipe to achieve the proper harmony between comedy and nostalgia. We, as a community, share more in common than we have differences. Tonight we salute our common denominators. It is my hope that I am not sharing my life story but our life story as we spend this evening together.
