Trent Butler is a 12-year-old on a mission. While on a Boy Scout trip, he learned about the Civilian Conservation Corps and how these men and women helped build the Texas State Park system. But being a history buff, Trent wanted to know more. A lot more. The result was a one-act one-kid play. In it, he portrays a president, a senator, and a CCC worker. His project is a true example of imagination at work, connecting past and present, inspiring all who experience it.
