I have not had the honor of communicating with you directly Bear and I do not know what it is that you are dealing with, but I have always enjoyed reading your posts. You have been a strong presence on the forums and everyone has benefitted greatly from your contributions.
You are a wise old bear, who can appreciate the pure joy of a simple jelly doughnut.
Don't really know ya Bear however your posts, knowledge, collection, and opinions have influenced me greatly! You are sorely missed and I wish nothing but the best for you and the misses! My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.
