CAMP FORGOTTEN
The Civilian Conservation Corps in Michigan
by Bill Jamerson  SHOWN ON PBS!

Turn back the clock to 1933- the middle of the worst depression the country has ever seen. Thousands of young men between the ages of 17 and 23 are finding a purpose in their lives as a part of the CCC in Michigan. They fought forest fires, built park structures, planted trees and did many other useful projects. Students can get the feel of turning out to morning exercise in the snow while under the supervision of a "kindly" army officer! The video includes interviews with over a dozen men who were there- an experience which changed their lives!  ©1993.  58 minutes. (6th grade - Adult)

GRAND RAPIDS MADE
by Bill Jamerson
PBS Video Producer - SHOWN ON PBS!

This video will give older students and adults the complete history of Grand Rapids as the furniture-making capital. It begins in the 1850s with the first simple cabinet makers and follows the development to the present time. Some people may not realize Grand Rapids continues to be a furniture capital, but it is office furniture and institutional seating which are its claim to fame today! Good for high school and adult education classes. Mostly color with some historic footage.
