Cain said working with Sullivan and her students again this year was a great experience.       “She prepared the students for working on this project by playing some of the classic old-time radio programs from the thirties and forties, such as Orson Welles ‘War of the Worlds’ broadcast,” he said. “It’s wonderful to work with someone who is as excited about radio as we are. And I think some of that excitement has filtered down to the students.        “We’d like to invite everybody to tune in this Saturday morning and join us for the broadcast, especially all the kids in the area,” he said.       For additional information, contact Cain at 985-549-2330.
