I'm not a real bear. That's right - I'm a Teddy Bear. Ursa Major they sometimes call me, which means, the big bear. Also, for a long part of my life, I was called Mr Happy.<br /><br />Ever since I was created I have considered it my job and first prority to spread as much happiness around as I possibly can. Right now, I'm busy writing my very own book - my arctobiography. I could really do with some help though. You see, my creator, Elaine, failed to rescue my photographs the day her house burnt down. Now I am trying hard to find people who might have a photo or memory of me, either from my early days when people called me Kelly, from my middle life as The Skoda Bear when I lived in Redditch, or from my later life as Mr Happy, when I lived in Glasgow. In Glasgow I lived first with The Daily Record newspaper, and then I retired from the paper in 1974, and moved to Glasgow Zoo at Calderpark.<br /><br />PLEASE get in touch if you remember seeing me! Elaine is keen to know when I left Glasgow Zoo, and as my brawn is much bigger than my brain, I'm afraid I can't remember.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4530637051079269490-9142254501150490102?l=teddy-kelly.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Elainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03053041288222582332noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4530637051079269490.post-10301336789221097572009-05-13T15:48:00.000-07:002009-05-13T16:03:34.517-07:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oDgHLWVyiiM/SgtQhcaU3OI/AAAAAAAAAAM/tR6vjmoB4Po/s1600-h/KellyMumTaki.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 253px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oDgHLWVyiiM/SgtQhcaU3OI/AAAAAAAAAAM/tR6vjmoB4Po/s320/KellyMumTaki.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335446719043001570" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Hello Everybody!
