Dear Mr.
Webber,
As an
elementary teacher--and a fan--I was pleased
to see your latest schedule in the 9/6/05
Index-Tribune. You literally make history
come alive.
Perhaps you can use this letter.
My husband is a collector of old papers --
and just about everything else -- who bought
Petaluma Courier newspapers. In a 1936
historical retrospective issue, a letter
from Gen. Vallejo responding to a Petaluma
student from 1936 was reprinted. I've used
it in my classroom, but it doesn't seem to
be widely known. I'd be interested to know
if you can use this information.
Have a
wonderful "season."

 General
Vallejo Historic Walking Tour
I, General Mariano Guadalupe
Vallejo founder of the pueblo of
Sonoma, and Commandante General
of Alta California am more than
pleased to have returned to
corporeal form.
In
lectures and walking tours you
may learn about me: native
Californian, military hero,
diplomat, scientific farmer and
winemaker. Experience the
true story of the Bear Flag
Revolt on the ground where it
happened, and hear tales of
early Rancho California.

General Vallejo lecture or tour,

General Vallejo makes history come
alive for KIDS!
Learning was never so much fun, with
the good General himself telling
stories of Mexican California, the
Sonoma Mission, Grizzly Bears, the
Hide and Tallow Trade, and the Bear
Flag Revolt.
E-mail the General
beforehand with topics you would
like discussed. |

I hired General Vallejo to
appear at our historic property
for "Holiday in Carneros." His
great knowledge of history and
wonderful delivery made the day
for my visitors and staff. It
was just like the real General
Vallejo was here!

Testimonial from a History Buff
A General Vallejo Walking Tour was
the last planned event on our three-day fraternity
reunion, and it really capped things off. Everyone
was delighted with your presentation and impressed
by how much there was to know about General Vallejo
and the state of California. In a nutshell: we had a
GREAT TIME! We will be sure to recommend your tours
to future visitors coming this way.
Best regards,
Chuck Elliott

Testimonial from Event Producer On
behalf of the Sonoma-Aswan Sister City Committee, I want
to thank you for contributing to our event! The

General's appearance, and I want to thank you for the
research and thoughtful writing of the speech the
General presented.

Testimonial for a General Vallejo speech
On April 21, 2008, George Webber appeared at my 5-state conference
in Napa, portraying General Mariano Vallejo. His history
lesson/performance was terrific! He had learned about our group in
advance (we are the California Cattlewomen, and our meeting was a
5-state Regional Meeting of American National Cattlewomen) by going to
our website and educating himself...this in order to make our
presentation personal. It certainly was! Several of our speakers came
early as I had encouraged them to take the opportunity to see George.
Each of them said that he was outstanding. So did our members. His
presentation made us more aware of the local history and set the stage
for the rest of our conference.
Respectfully yours,
Judy Ahmann
President, California Cattlewomen

Dear George, we have had nothing but raves from the Wine Wooters.
Congratulations on a triumph for your performance as Count Agoston
Haraszthy!
