Posted on 25 February 2013. Tags: , , ,

KING OF PRUSSIA PA – A Pottsgrove High School alumnus who has spent much of his professional career caring for penguins at Sea World in Florida returned to western Montgomery County during the weekend for a visit, and brought the birds with him. Or, more accurately, the birds brought him.

T.J. Dray, who graduated from Pottsgrove in 1993, conducted shows Friday and Saturday (Feb. 22 and 23) at the King of Prussia Mall to promote the new SeaWorld Orlando exhibit, “Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin,” The (Pottstown PA) Mercury reported. The Magellanic penguins, named Pete and Penny, were the show’s stars; Dray is their caretaker and human representative.
