| April 1999 Faithful fans take Griz spirit
UM alumnus Chuck Brooke has set a new standard for displaying loyalty to one's alma mater. Brooke and his teenage daughter, Maleen, remembered their Grizzly pride even when climbing Mount Kilimanjaro last July. When the pair reached the summit -- Africa's highest point at 19,340 feet -- they showed their Grizzly colors instead of planting their nation's flag like most hikers. The almost-60-mile trek up the mountain took more than five days. Maleen, her father says, is a lifelong Griz fan and will become the third generation of the Brooke family to attend UM when she enters as a freshman next fall. Meanwhile, when he's not climbing mountains, Chuck is senior vice president for government relations and public affairs for Powerhouse Technologies, one of the world's largest gaming systems suppliers and operators. He represents and coordinates the company's business interests with state and provincial governments throughout North America. |
