Good morning
The USPS is becoming a real pain where theft is concerned. I'm sorry that happened to you. We have had gift cards stolen in the past. Now, we send them in padded envelopes with tracking. They reimbursed us for the one theft that occurred at our own post office, but the rest was a lost cause.

Re: Pat_B,
Wouldn't that be a great legacy? I know my dad, when he was doing the work that Neil DeGrasse Tyson does now--making astronomy accessible to non-scientists--quite a few of the school kids he interacted with went on to become scientists.

Re: CCT,
He already has fans, and I suspect if some toy company 'discovers' him, he could do quite well by his art!

Re: Kabu,
Could be the family doesn't really have a lot of money, too. We saw the parents nowhere near as much as the boy, but they seemed caring and willing.

Re: adnohr,
I'm not sure of the exact number, but it approaches 200. Some have gone to people who have loved more than one--I think one collector has 5 or 6!

Re:
Has Charlie kept track of the number of bears he has sold? That would be the number of people he has made happy with his original creations.

GRRRRRR I could really bite a piece out of that father. OK I understand a lot of money to pay for a bear but a little kid who is willing to help work for his beloved bear is priceless and yes should have been given more support by his parents. They could have put some money towards something the child was so determined he needed. A care bear can be kept and cherished for the rest of one's life!

Nice word picture. Love the story about the boy who worked to earn that bear - who knows, maybe he, too, will become an artist.
