Thought you kind folks might like to know...

Dee gave me her blessing to post this. :)
Back in 2010, I was asked by Louisiana Public Broadcasting to co-write, narrate and "star" in a documentary on the Chitimacha people, my people. We filmed it that year and it was broadcast in Louisiana in spring of 2011.
Well, the show, "Native Waters: A Chitimacha Recollection" was nominated for an Emmy (though we didn't win one!) and won a Telly Award, and is going into national syndication this month to small and large public broadcasting stations every where.
The documentary summary and an extended clip (see the right hand column, third from top says "view the extended trailer") can be found at:

Those of you who remember when I used to hang out here regularly may recall when I did two episodes of "Fly Fishing America." There's some fly-fishing in this, too, and no, I can't cast any better now than I did then! But it's also a very relevant study of a people's connection to their environs, and I hope you can catch it in your region.
Best regards,

Roger,

Hold your head up high and be proud on a job well done!!

Great stuff Stouff !

Glad to hear from you again sir.

Really happy to see you back here at FAOL. I hope you stick around. You have truly been missed.

Way Cool !!! I hope I get a chance to see it... If any of you know here in Va. when and if it airs on TV (I dont watch much TV so I dont know) please let me know...

Roger, that is awesome. I sure hope I get to see it on public television here in PA.

Thats very nice... Glad to hear from you again,,,,

Hey Roger,
Happy to see you back here on FAOL. Yes I do recall the Flyfishing America episodes with your slighjtly "rotund" persona featured. Great episodes, your casting skills notwithstanding. In any case, will look forward to enjoying the PBS presentation of this documentary.

Hi Roger,

Nice to see you back!

Roger, I enjoyed the extended clip and sure hope one of the local PBS stations here in NE Ohio broadcasts the show. I am looking forward to seeing the entire documentary. I hope to read more of your stories as well.

Take care,

Mike
