I always spend Thanksgiving morning at Piero’s Restaurant serving food with some of the other community leaders. Freddie (Piero’s owner, Glusman) feeds people who are down on their luck and I’ve been helping him do this for about 25 years. It’s a big Thanksgiving dinner with all of the side stuff.

Sharing some Thanksgiving traditions
Players on championship team always worked hard

Condolences to the Fertitta family
I was so saddened to hear about the passing of Frank Fertitta Jr. I remember when he took over Station Casinos. He never once turned me down for any request we made relating to anyone in the program.
Guest Byte: From Lois, with love
My life with Jerry? It’s been like a rollercoaster, with a lot of sweetness in there, too. We’ve been married 54 years and we will celebrate his 79th birthday tomorrow, ...
