  • Winston Groom Named 2011 Harper Lee Award Recipient
    Winston Groom named 2011 Harper Lee Award recipient Winston Groom of Point Clear, Ala., has been named the 2011 recipient of the Harper Lee Award for Alabama’s Distinguished Writer of the Year. Groom will receive the award at the Alabama Writers Symposium in Monroeville on May 6 at the annual luncheon. The conference will meet May 5-7. “I am truly honored to be chosen for the Harper Lee Award, and look forward to the Symposium,” said Groom. The Alabama Writers’ Forum, a partnership program of the Alabama State Council on the Arts, coordinates the process to select the Harper Lee Award recipient annually from nominations from the field. The honor is presented annually by Alabama Southern Community College at the Symposium. It is made possible through a generous grant from George F. Landegger. “One of the first books my twin sons fell in love with was Winston Groom's Only,” said Sue Brannan Walker, Alabama Writers’ Forum board president and Poet Laureate of Alabama. “From his fabulous Forrest Gump book and film to my personal favorites, A Storm in Flanders and Patriotic Fire, Winston has impressed with his humor, his depth, his versatility, and his range of subject matter. I look forward to celebrating Winston Groom's accomplishments and hearing him in Monroeville.” “To receive the Harper Lee Award is one of the biggest honors given a writer,” said Carolyn Haines, last year’s recipient. “I know Winston will cherish this honor as much as I do. We are storytellers, and this award, named for one of the best known writers in America, honors the tradition of great characters and great story.

  • Holding the Line, October, 2019
    October 2019 "The Snyder Farm (Gettysburg, PA)" by BGES member Jeff Fioravanti HQ Communiqué Anyone who says the Civil War is dead ain't whistling Dixie! I just returned from the resurrection of the Civil War Round Table movement. The third Annual Congress of Civil War Round Tables met in St. Louis at Jefferson Barracks in the Missouri Civil War Museum. Among 40 Round Tables represented were the oldest (Chicago); the second oldest (Kansas City); the third oldest (Washington); and the largest (Brunswick, NC). A Southwestern round table with more than 500 members and the newest from Bentonville, Arkansas, there was information and fellowship for all. There are estimates that there are still 225 Civil War Round Tables in the USA in various states of organization—most, admittedly, populated by senior citizens, but nonethless still a robust constituency. This latest congress is designed to do just what BGES is doing, and that is educate and sustain the important symbols, events, and lessons that have carried us and our interest for more than 75 years. If you are not a member of a round table, you should be. If you are, send us its contact information at [email protected]. Kudos to Mike Movius, Wally Reukle, Jay Jorgenson, and John Bamberl for their efforts. This truly is what working at the grassroots level is all about. Two other quick points of note. If you are not a member of the Missouri Civil War Museum, join them. Trust me on this. They are doing phenomenal things on less than a shoestring budget.

  • Combined Financial Statements
    A LET T E R FRO M THE PRESIDENT Dear Academy Member, I never cease to feel pride when I see yet another excellent program at the Academy, whether its focus is retrospective, or educational, or both. What a wonderful and fulfilling year of programs, be it a reunion of the cast of DAMN YAN KE ES, say, or a talk by Oscar-winning writer Robert Towne or an exhibition of animation art from the former Soviet Union. I'm also proud to be an Academy member every time I get a peek into the boxes and file drawers at our Center for Motion Picture Study, and I'm reminded of the millions of photographs, papers, films and other minutiae of movie history preserved there. By now we should all be aware that the Academy works continuously at saving and preserving the history of the art form, and at honoring and remembering that history with programs in our theaters and exhibitions in our galleries. Why do we do it? The answer is found in the people I see attending that Bob Towne lecture, or sitting in the Library doing research, or oohing at the stunning black-and-white George Hurrell photos on display in the Academy Gallery. Many of them are Academy members. Even more aren't. But whether it's a student researching biographical material for a term paper, or a young director of photography learning lessons of light from Hurrell's images, or a veteran member of our Directors Branch basking in the inspired lunacy of a Chuck Jones cartoon short, what they take away from these activities is precisely the point of all our preservation efforts.
