The Millionaire

By John Walters on Friday, December 24, 2004.

Nashua resident Jason Sanderson may be the world's only millionaire/pro wrestler/priest. In 1997, he won a $66.4-million-dollar Powerball jackpot; he's president of All Star Wrestling, a regional wrestling organization (in the ring, he's known as "The Wolfman" and he battles opponents like the Lobsterman and the Blood-Sucking Alien). In addition to all that, he's pastor of St. Jude's Liberal Catholic Mission in Nashua. This interview aired last November.

Holiday Music with the NH Philharmonic

By Laura Knoy on Friday, December 24, 2004.

Earlier this December, the New Hampshire Philharmonic, the state's oldest civic orchestra, kicked in the Christmas season with a Holiday Pops concert performed at the Palace Theatre in Manchester. The Philharmonic is celebrating its 100th season this year. This hour on the Exchange we listen back to highlights of the concert, talk about holiday music and see how carols, songs and sing-a-longs form our Christmas, Hanukkah and Solstice traditions. Laura's guest is Anthony Princiotti, conductor of the New Hampshire Philharmonic.
