In 1993, his second film, Camp Forgotten – The CCC’s in Michigan, aired on over sixty PBS stations. He began writing songs about Upper Peninsula history. He soon began to appear in schools, libraries and festivals telling stories and performing his original songs about iron miners, lumberjacks and CCC Boys.
