1969

For the past few months this column has been the exclusive territory of our upcoming 15th reunion (June 16-19, 1983). Before we get to more reunion ramblings, a few bits of gossip from near and far:

Judson Graves is a partner in what is now the largest law firm in Atlanta. Alston and Bird, formed December 1, 1982, via merger, has 132 attorneys.

More news from Atlanta: Ted Baehr, chairman of Good News Communications (2876 Mabry Road, NE, Atlanta, Ga. 303 19) and his crew have recently completed filming a television docu-drama, A New Door Opens. The film presents the achievements of three evangelist graduates of the Haggai Institute for Advanced Leadership Training. Filming took place in Brazil, Israel, and Singapore.

Jim Scott's brother, Chip '73, was married last July in Phoenix. The list we received indicated a very large Dartmouth contingent was present.

A great many cards and letters have asked questions as to the content of the children's program for our reunion. The highlight of the children's program will be the appearance of the "Big Apple Circus." For the past two seasons, the Big Apple Circus has presented a holiday gala at Lincoln Center, under the direction of Paul Binder '63. In direct contrast to a threering extravanganza, the Big Apple restores the intimacy of circuses past. Simply put, the Big Apple Circus is noisy, crowded, fun - a splendid opportunity to experience a thrill or two: the Flying Gaonas of the high wire, three generations of Canestrellis on the trampoline, Jim and Tisha Tinsman on the rotating aerial ladder, and much more. Anna May, the 38-year-old, amiable pachyderm, and her faithful trainer, Ben Williams, are always a hit.

A great time will be had by all!

Ted Baehr '69 (left) had just walked throughthis movie scene as a monk, and he was stillwearing his monk's robe when he stepped to theother side of the camera in his role as director ofa recently-completed docu-drama about ThirdWorld leaders who overcome persecution ofChristians. Chairman of Good News Communications in Atlanta, Ga., Baehr traveled allover the world with the production crew to dofilming; here, they recreated a terrorist carbombing in the Old City of Jerusalem.
