Too bad I don't have any grandchildren to take along with me.<BR/><BR/>Shelley - It was very well planned.<BR/><BR/>Ruth - We wouldn't be able to run our sites without volunteers. And I do thank them at every opportunity.<BR/><BR/>Jayne - You're absolutely right.<BR/><BR/>Kerri - He is still working hard to educate children. What a guy!<BR/><BR/>Lynne - I grew up thinking Smokey was OURS. After all, we lived in the mountains and he talked about forest fires. Perhaps that's the reason for his universal appeal.NCmountainwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615765649828716560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906718086309436335.post-21987312544375460302008-08-11T14:25:00.000-04:002008-08-11T14:25:00.000-04:00Thanks for the history surround Smokey Bear.
