I have some sad news- Stan Berenstain passed away the other day. He was 82. He leaves a rich legacy, and even had a little to do with my great love of bears. In tribute, please take a moment to read your favorite Berenstain Bears book (mine was The Bike Lesson -or was it The Big Honey Hunt??? The one where the giant mosquitos chase them and try to eat them), and then hoist a beer in the direction of Ursis Major, where I am sure Stan is keeping watch over all us little bears.
