Given the drought we've been having and the resulting dulling of Fall tree color, this could be the most autumn color we get this year. The images for this issue come from artists all over the Internet, including right here at home. The lovely art on this page is from a watercolor by Concord artist, Priscilla Parrott. On other pages, the leaf art provided by our editor, Deborah Bier, was made from last Fall's Concord leaves. A scanner and a graphics manipulation program truly gilded those leafy beauties. (If you want some Concord leaves of your own, don't miss the offer to be sent some in this issue's Letters to the Editor.) The cover and back page photos are also Concord products, from Brigham Farms at Nine Acre Corner, and Donald Stevenson respectively. From all around cyber space, we find autumnal lovelies from Misty Garden, Silver Birch, our old friend Rhymster, Roxy's Renditions from (who else?) Autumn Web, and as always, images from ArtToday.
Our Entry in the "You Read it Here First" Category Last year, we published three excerpts from an unpublished manuscript, "The Significance of Being Frank: The Life and Times of Frank Sanborn" by Tom Clark. Since that time, it has won the first "Erratic Impact Original Contributor" award from the Erratic Impact Philosophy Research Base. The award states "Not only is this undeservedly marginalized figure brought to life in this compelling work, but the intimate details of Clark's narrative brings Sanborn's Transcendentalist world to life as well. This remarkable biography produces for the reader a direct sense of the social nerve and intellectual daring of 19th Century New England. Clark has done an outstanding job in the art of biography." Well done! The book is now available online in its entirety.
Concord Neighborhoods Revitalized by Y2K Preparations Improved neighborhood cohesiveness has been identified as one of the greatest needs in our community. And all over Concord, residents have enthusiastically embraced the chance to meet and discuss how to strengthen their home territory. While preparations for the Year 2000 (Y2K) bug is the immediate imputus, the widespread desire to get out and know thy neighbors is being addressed in the process. In honor of this, we continue our spotlight on this neighborhood initiative and Y2K preparation with a series of articles beginning here.
Next Edition To Round Out the Year Because of the way our bi-monthly issues Fall and given the end of the year is nigh, our next issue to be published around December 15th will be for one month only. This way we will round out the year, the century, and millennium, as well as provide local, last minute Year 2000 preparation/celebration information.

There's a tangy scent wafting on the now cooler air...the hours of sunlight are noticably shorter...a decided frost has appeared on the proverbial pumpkin. That means it's Fall in Concord. And in homage to this glorious season, we have made this issue of The Concord Magazine a blaze of autumn beauty. Reds, ochres and oranges blend with greens and browns to indulge the senses and warm the soul.
