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 4th and 5th 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.   Diane Greiner, Director Croton Township Library 8260 S. Croton-Hardy Drive Newaygo, MI  49337 231-652-1615
