One of the things that she hopes people will do who have lis tened to the station over the years is to share with Triple A any tapings, photos, or newsclippings they may have, which she assures will be cared for and returned after the cel ebration is over. “We’re also asking them to take the time on a post card...to nominate someone they consider to be the personality for each decade at WAAA,” she said. For the listening enterutinment of new and old fans alike, Evans said that the Saturday and Monday of the celebration will be an “Old Folks’ Paradise” with some of the personalities from yesteryettr broad casting either live or by tape, wher ever possible. Evans is already looking ahead to the next decade for Triple A. “I hope that in lO-yctirs, when Triple A observes its 50th anniversary, that it will still be appreciated by not only those who listen and find it to bo a source of encouragement and infor mation and entertainment and inspira tion, (but) that it will also be appreci ated by those folks in the business world who rely on those folkji use Triple A as a source o| those things on a daily basis," Continuing her reminj businesses, particularlj, owned businesses, tend to mi their advertising dollars t comes to the African-An media, Evans added that ski “that they will value it (Tj enough to support it so tlij years, it will be the besij finest that modem technolj buy, that it will have expai that it can do all the thingsi have done, are doing, aji hopes to be able to do.” Lecturer on world tour Internationally-known lecturer on the art of meditation Thakar Singh will be speaking in Greens boro Tuesday and Wednesday, Oct. 16 and 17, as part of his twelfth world lour.

'Mr. Destiny' made local man instant celebrity When the preview party started for "Mr. Destiny” at the Mercantile Plaza on Wednesday, Oct. 10, Raymond Anderson and his family had some of the brightest eyes among the partygoers. The highlight of the evening for them was seeing Raymond as the homeplaie umpire when Jim Belushi’s child character strikes out. Raymond was selected to do the one-liner “Slx- r-r-ike ihre-e-e,” tiround which the action of the rest of the film pivots. Raymond found the experience exhilarating, though demanding. Sometimes he was on the field (Ernie Short Field) for approximately eight hours at a time with a few breaks in between. Shooting would start around seven in the evening and end around two the next morning. “The first night of shooting was very, very cold, but I was so excited by the filming routine that I did not feel the cold at all,” he said. Flonnie Anderson, his mother, will see a lot of movies in the* weeks, and they all will be “Mr. Destiny.” She did the same thing daughter, Deirdre, appeared in the movie, “Loose Cannons,” and] Kennedy, her protegee, starred in “Glory.” Thankar Singh Trained in classical Indian music, Thakar Singh is also an accomplished composer and per former. He is skilled in a variety of instruments and will be performing his own compositions as pan of the programs in Denver. His literary works include: Gospel of Love, a collection of teachings; You Will Fly Up to God', and most recently published. Five Interviews. His writings emphasize an understand ing of man’s connection to his high er self and .service to mankind. The science of meditation discussed by Thakar Singh is not a part of any organized religion or philosophy, but may be practiced by anyone, young or old. The purpose is to reconnect individuals with the high er ideals present within each human soul. Although he was fortunate enough to be paid SAG (Screen Actors’ Guild) wages, Raymond said that he would have done it without SAG wages. “Of course, now that I have become a star,” he said laughing, “I will have to get a Screen Actors’ Guild card before I can be cast in another film role.” Raymond also laughed about his earlier experiences in film. He remembers “dying” in a plane crash in a field in Clemmons as a blind char acter in one of Tim Collarc’s films. When he returned to Livingstone Col lege, where he was a student at the time, his classmates and faculty thought that they were seeing a ghost. “It seems that they had seen the picture of me lying in the field accompanied by the story of the crash which the Winston- Salem Sentinel covered. They did not read the whole story. They just saw me lying in the field and read the caption beneath that I was dead,” Raymond chuckled. Tim Collarc is audio-visual specialist with the Win- ston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools. In another film shot at Salem College’s amphitheater, he was a guitar player in some sort of rock star scene. He was also a part of a weeding party filmed at Reynolda Presbyterian Church. When did his acting ctircer start? When he was cast as young Prince Dean in “Streamlined Cinderella” in elementary school followed by the role of the Ring Master in “Pinocchio and the Indians” at a Philo Summer Enrichment Program. He believes, though, that this community will remember him belter as Purlic in FATA’s 1983 production of the musical “Purlie” and Super Saturday for Kids sponsored by Urban Arks of the Arts Council, Inc. in ■M , w * * Raymond Anderson plays the umpire in new film releij Destiny" which opens in local theaters Friday, Oct.12. The strongest field in years. One of the toughest layouts in the country. And the pressure of playing for the Senior PGA TOUR’s richest prize. Congratulations to the man who masters them all in winning the 1990 Vantage Championship. And special thanks to all the volunteers who made this year’s tournament such a resounding success.
