Familiar Face – David Morrow (BS ‘01 Automotive Technology) wore his Gorilla gear for a walk on the Great Wall of China in 2011, where he was on a work trip for Caterpillar. David said a family from Emporia, Kan., commented on his attire. We can only imagine what they said.

Where in the world is the picture of Larry Rowan and his grandkids? It mentions a photo but there is none. Where is the photo of the cute grandkids? The grandkids are proud of their Gorilla heritage.
