I had the pleasure to meet the film maker Jon Craig Cloutier who documented Ned Ackermans project from start to finish. A small local film was made about this I believe is was called Coaster the Journey of the Jonathan F Leavitt...but i can not find a record of this film in http://imdb.com but I saw the film at its unveiling at Portland Maine City Hall in 1981
