I am so sorry we've been out of touch for such a long time... A Bear's life get's a bit complicated with work, family and hibernation... Last summer, DeYaWanaa, Buff and I joined our friend Pete Panda for a much delayed and needed vacation to the islands.... Here is a bit of a show-and-tell about our FIRST and ONLY vacation in over 60 years... Yea... I've turned gray... and I don't have a part in my hair any more... In fact... some of my mane has disappeared... and I need to wear a hat... DeYaWana is still beautiful... and Buff is all grown up and has gone prematurely gray...
All dressed up and heading to the airport! My first walk on the beach Pete Panda, Me, Buff and DeYaWana Buff on the beach
Headed for the Airport! Next stop the TSA desk... then "The Plane"... We made it... Strolling on the Beach. I'm totally relaxed and getting thirsty. Pete Panda, Me, Ruff and DeYaWana taking in the sights and enjoying some refreshments.
Surfing at dusk Hugs are Good
Well... When you're a tourists... you dress like one... The pineapple punch was amazing... I never did learn to stand on the board... but... my paddling skills worked fine for me.... After a good afternoon of paddling the board... relaxing on the beach with family...
A little fire on the beach at sunset Saying Goodby to the Islands
Not sure this was legal... but it was dark and we set a cheery fire on the beach... and sang along with some old 60s songs. At the end of day two... we had become comfortable with local fruit, pancakes and some habit forming liquid refreshments... Well... It's the end of our third day... and tomorrow we must say goodby to the sands... the ocean and Pete Panda... Heading back home.

The past 40 years have been bearable. The hair is a little grayer and quite a bit thinner but I've added a couple of pounds to make up for that. It seems the years and gravity have repositioned my previously well-defined physical features. On the brighter side... I can still chew my own food!

Where I've been... Well.....

I left MHS and went into the world to make my fortune. I graduated in '69 from Viola Tech in Forest Sciences and spent 1970 - 1971 in the polar regions studying pine tree pollination and butterfly migration. Below is a picture of me on station near "the pole".

In late '71, when I got back "state-side", I found a position with Coyote Foods as a cookie taster and am almost ready to retire.

Buff, our little bundle of joy, is now in College. He's working on his Masters in Business and is planning on a career as a Financial Planner.. sure hope he paid attention in his classes! Below is a little family portrait taken back in 1974. Buff was just a cub then.

We enjoy relaxing on our 12' yacht and fishing across the great Northwest. I'd like to say I was the "BIG fisherman" but DeYaWana seems to have a real way with a rod and reel.

Some years back, we were burglarized by an uninvited house guest. Our nanny-cam captured her picture and she was in custody in a matter of hours.

Where I'm going...
Cutbacks on the job have me looking forward to retirement. Too much work for an old Bear... We will be spending more time traveling and spoiling grand-kids!
We're really looking forward to the 40th Reunion!!!

Research at the Pole on pine tree pollination and butterfly migration was a lot of hard work! The Family Portrait - Me, DeYaWana and Buff in 1974 Fishing is a favorite! We really like yachting in the backwaters of Paradise Creek. Recent House Guest is now a fellon... Goldie L Ox stole our supper.
