For eight years, Bill has performed his CCC program at dozens of libraries, community concerts, state parks and other venues across the country. His presentation touches the hearts and minds of both the young and old. Over three and half million young men enrolled in the CCC during The Great Depression. People with dads or brothers in the program are still grateful for the money that was sent home to their families – it kept many of them from starving!

What makes Bill's program special?

Great Stories. Bill has interviewed hundreds of CCC Boys since 1992!

Video. A short clip from his PBS film CAMP FORGOTTEN brings the CCC to life!

Music.  Songs always bring a smile to a person's face!

Participation. Bill invites CCC Boys in the audience to speak up!

Knowledge. Bill is a historian, he customizes his presentations to each state he visits!

Fun. When you put 200 teenagers in a work camp - there are bound to be some funny stories!


To celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the CCC, Bill has released a new CD of twelve original songs! The CD is an excellent companion to the book with many songs based on events that occurred in the book. 

"Bill's program is terrific…we've enjoyed his presentations at three of our national reunions."
Walt Atwood, President, National Association of CCC Alumni

"Bill transforms research and oral accounts into a context that listeners of all ages can visualize and understand."
Joan Sharpe, President, CCC Legacy, Edinburg VA

"Bill really connected with the teenagers in our audience…they really need to hear what their forefathers went through."
Larry Weaver, Chattahoochee State Park, Gordon, AL

"The program really struck a chord with the many college students in attendance…he brought that period of history to life with his songs and stories."
Barbara Fagan, Cleveland Public Library, Cleveland, TN

"Bill is extremely knowledgeable and entertaining…he makes the Civilian Conservation Corps really come alive." 
Travis White, Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Akron, OH

"He captivated the audience with his stories, songs and charm…I believe he made several friends with the CCC boys who were in attendance." 
Bettina Mead, Bay County Library, Panama City, FL
