Has anyone seen a gorilla?
Some time ago, John Kaasik loaned his gorilla suit to someone — his sister says they can’t remember who — he hasn’t missed it but now he really needs it back for the Shelter Island School’s spring production of the “Wizard of Oz.” It’s probably hanging out in the back of a closet or has been put away in a safe place in the attic, so if your memory is better than his and you can locate it, please give John a call at 749-4252.
