Literary Hall of Fame The North Carolina Literary Hall of Fame Inducts Three Authors in 2004 The Writers' Network is proud to announce the three newest inductees of the Literary Hall of Fame: fiction writer Doris Betts, journalist Tom Wicker, and poet James McGirt (deceased). Like all the other 36 inductees of this important biennial event, these writers have strong connections to North Carolina, although their reputations extend throughout the nation and beyond. Betts, Wicker and McGirt will be honored at the Weymouth Center in Southern Pines, NC on Sunday, October 17, 2004 at 2 pm. More details will be available soon. The North Carolina Literary Hall of Fame Inducts Five Authors in 2002 NC Poet Laureate, Fred Chappell presided at the 2002 induction of Reynolds Price and Elizabeth Spencer. Also honored posthumously were Glen Rounds, of Southern Pines, LeGette Blythe, of Charlotte, and Christian Reid (Frances Fisher), of Salisbury. The large upstairs room at Weymouth that houses the Hall of Fame was refurbished in time for the ceremony, thanks to a generous donation by the Women of Weymouth of recessed lighting, new paint, a refinished floor, and a re-hanging of the portraits of all thirty-six inductees. | |
