    Send us Fan Mail Peter and Gale Force Wins Co Founder Allan Dale met in Yerevan Armenia where they both served as International Election Observers. Allan was immediately captivated with Peter’s contagious personality, strong sense of duty, and impressive energy. In his 83rd year and on his 40th mission Allan knew this was a story that needed to be told. Hendriks shares his unique life story, beginning with his childhood as a Dutch immigrant in New Zealand. He recounts his extensive travels by sea and his classical education in the Netherlands. His academic career led him to become a linguist, specializing in Slavic languages, which eventually took him to study in Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union during the 1960s. A Life of Service: 40 Missions of Election Observation Since 1994, Hendrix has dedicated himself to observing elections across the globe, from Macedonia to Mongolia and Chechnya. He provides firsthand accounts of:   The evolution of election monitoring: Moving from rudimentary processes and national teams to the sophisticated, international standards used today.   Observations from the field:The risks of monitoring in conflict zones like Chechnya and the logistical challenges of reaching remote villages in Mongolia by car.   The human element of democracy:The moving experience of watching first-time voters and the universal importance of the democratic process. Personal Reflections at 82 Hendriks remains physically and mentally fit through martial arts and a lifelong passion for learning. He reflects on his 55-year marriage, his son’s upcoming wedding, and his belief that travel and cross-cultural understanding are essential for global peace. This video offers a profound look at a man who has witnessed history from behind the Iron Curtain to the front lines of emerging democracies.
