At his first swimming lesson, Eric comes face to face with a man he calls The Gorilla. He didn’t catch his name so gave him the nickname. The Gorilla is teaching the older boys to be lifeguards. He is gruff and hairy. As we learn towrds the end of the story, he is called Hermann Straub and is originally from Germany. For those wonder where I get my names from, Straub is a Germanic surname that literally means “one with bushy or bristly hair”.
Who Is The Gorilla?
