Kathryn Johnstone's 'Two Surgeries, One Voice' And Ed Miller's 'Done Deal' On Valley Writers Read

This week on Valley Writers Read we hear two stories:  Kathryn Johnstone reads “Two Surgeries, One Voice” and Ed Miller reads “Done Deal.”  The first story is about two operations – one went just fine, the other, very much awry.  The second story is about Nash, a sleazy criminal type, who wants to sell a car full of stolen goods over in Richmond, but barely survives a physical attack by the supposed buyers of the contraband.

Franz Weinschenk, his parents and his older brother Fritz were indeed lucky to get out of Germany just before World War II. For a while they lived in Brooklyn, N.Y., before moving to Madera, CA. He graduated from Madera High and Fresno State. From 1948 to 1952 he taught at Edison High School in Fresno after which he was drafted and served in the US Army for two years.
