Great work which should be acknowledged more often, so here it is (again ) and for those who of you who are unaware of his fantastic discovery.

I was inspired by his story in the 1993 4hr Frontline special. I’ve got it on VHS, if the kids didn’t record over it.

Is this the one? I have watched the NOVA special it was very good. Steve who taped your segment? I thought maybe the local PBS station?

Yes, but the 1993 version was 2-2hr episodes, if I remember correctly. I also believe more recently it was trimmed to 3 hours and available for sale, as the YouTube video appears to be.
