    I was looking thru some old pictures, and came across pictures of the First Annual Pinvitational held at Toad Valley Golf Course in Iowa. The Gorilla was the host, and it was a great time. I'm going to attach some pics. I hope no one is offended to see their face on here! Please feel free to add any pics if anyone else has some from this event. I'm sorry, I can't remember everyone's name, as I'm old. Please identify people you recognize.

    The Post Master!

    First pic is my pin hauler at the time, and the second is The Post Master, his wife, and son (aka MR. size 14!)

    Never realized that the Gorilla is an actual gorilla. I thought it was just a name thing.
