Otto and Beverly Tarnowski donated what may be the largest donation to Gateway from an individual in college history.
Caledonia residents Otto and Beverly Tarnowski are giving the largest private donation to Gateway Technical College in the school's history.

Beverly attended the official grand opening Tuesday of the 18,000 square foot addition to Gateway's Sturtevant facility.
