The Southern California Bear competition was incredible. I was fortunate to have taken 2nd, considering the competition, I feel very honored. For those of you in cyberspace who were able to make it, I truly hope you had a wonderful time. I know the contestants did. I am enjoying all my new found popularity but in all honesty, I am still a simple bear with simple needs. I still believe in monogamy, marriage and life partners.

Is there anyone else in this world that thinks this way? I have had so many who say that they do, but they really DON'T. HHhhhhmmmmmmm, Maybe someday........

From left to right is Richard, Keith and then lil ole me..
On a lighter note,

Congrats to Jim Parton, Mr International Bear 1997

Jeff Boone(A.K.A. Nancy) , Mr Southern California Bear 1997
