<P><B><FONT FACE="Arial Narrow">8:00 pm Saroyan Radio Series</FONT></B> <FONT FACE="Arial Narrow">The KFCF series Saroyan on Radio continues on Tuesday, August 12 at 8:00 pm with a salute to the William Saroyan Centennial Prize winning writers. This program is part of a seven-month radio series celebrating the 100th year of Saroyan's birth.<BR>
The contest is a brainchild of the William Saroyan Society, a local group preserving his legacy and the San Joaquin Valley Writer's Project. In past years they sponsored an annual writing competition for youth. This year, because of the special attention paid to Saroyan, they created the William Saroyan Centennial Prize, an international competition for serious adult writers which attracted sixty-five entries in the categories of short fiction, creative nonfiction and one-act play. The writing was judged by a distinguished panel of local writers and teachers.<BR>
<BR>
This program is a reading of the winning writers' entries: Learning the Alphabet by Bethany Chaney, Floating Away by Elizabeth Edelglass, and Testosterone by Hal Ackerman. The readings are performed by Megan Bohigian, Paula Fansler and Skip Sargenti.<BR>
<BR>
The second hour of the program features a reprise of a previous offering, a rare recording of William Saroyan talking in his own tape recorder at home and telling stories about his life, his musings and his thoughts about Fresno.<BR>
This program and Saroyan on Radio series is produced by Vic Bedoian.<BR>
