Having never been to Michigan, let alone the shores of its Great Lake, Traverse City was a delightful surprise...

"Mike's Surprise" turned out to be readings from his forthcoming book of short stories, Here Comes Trouble.

The NUREMBERG screening was held at the Old Town Playhouse in Traverse City, on July 29, 2011, at 4pm. It was sponsored by former Marine Corps officer Dr. William Steeves and his wife Dr. Kathy Steeves, a historian & educator.

So exciting -- people lined up to see NUREMBERG! The screening sold out.

Peter, the TCFF projectionist, mounted NUREMBERG on large reels for the screening.
