My name is Gaëtan Plein. I am a tourist guide, storyteller and caricaturist in Belgium .
I am preparing a journey in the Yellowstone region for February 2008.
I am searching for audiences with a substantial interest in history and talks wishing to acquire knowledge on the subject of :
The December 1944 attack on the First American Army by the German Army : « The Battle of the Bulge » ………
A variety of seminars are available by short video explorations ranging from 1 till 2 hours depending on the people’s interest.
I am living in the eastern part of Belgium in the vicinity of the Amblève river Valley, a region that has suffered most of the breakthrough of the sadly renowned tank commander Joachim Peiper just before Christmas 1944.
Stavelot , La Gleize , Spa (General Headquarters of general Courtney Hodge during autumn 1944).
My proposals are :
Either a 100 Dollar course fee for a small audience or a 300 Dollar fee per seminar for a large audience.
Free accomodation on home stay based arrangement.
Since the intent of my journey is the exploration of Yellowstone I am willing however to make an exchange deal : a free of charge seminar against a 3-days home-stay in a most exceptional wilderness area.
I am a professional activated entertainer performing to audiences in musea and cultural centers in Belgium ( abbaye de Stavelot) and other countries.
Upon my return from the USA in Belgium I would like to introduce the wild scenery of Yellowstone and the American history of the 19th century (Lewis and Clark , Francis Parkman, etc.) by workshops and conferences.
I performed as a speaker (quadrilingual : French, Dutch, English and German) and as an entertainer to audiences in China, Russia, and Germany.
What ‘s more, I would like herewith to express my deep gratitude for the contribution and the enormous sacrifices of the U.S. armed forces during the second world war finally leading to the liberation of Europe.
I would be particularly grateful if you would consider my offer to except a cultural exchange and I am looking forward to be hearing from you.
Sincerely Yours,
Gaëtan Plein
