We had Gijsbert “Nick” van Frankenhuyzen at our school a number of years back and he did a wonderful job with the students (yes, I have 2 hats and one is at an elementary school library). We had 4^th and 5^th graders at the time and they really enjoyed it. I would highly recommend him for any presentation. He is a very nice person to work with as well.
