Past Imperfect

In my years of research on the subject, I have discovered, history has documented and recorded important happenings in time. Including the American teddy bear and yet the experts have failed to put the pieces together for the truth. This is because the experts have not focused on this subject as I have!  Now lets talk about Documentation in History!  Please Google up, Theodore Roosevelt, Square Deal, Glass Plate, cir1904, in both the Cornell Univ. and the Brooklyn Museum web site. See the bears standing upright, this is my old bear. I have this very popular book titled, The legend of the Teddy bear By Frank Murphy. Author's Note, he says, A legend is a story created about a certain person, place, or thing. Many legends are based on fiction, which means they are not necessarily true. But the story of Theodore Roosevelt refusing to shoot that bear, Clifford Berrymans cartoon, and the Michtom's creation of the first teddy bears is based on fact. There seems to be no proof, evidence of the Michtom's earliest creation. Until now! Sooner or later one of these early bears were bound to show up, right, May be not! This is where I am with this old bear of mine that doesn't exist and yet he does exist. I find myself looking at him often, just to remind myself I am not making this up! One good look at him puts me right on track again. I ask myself, why is this big deli ma, Mine!  As one researches the original Teddy Roosevelt bear, you'll see in the past experts have created what they thought this original bear should look like. There are several styles for sale. This tells me the experts just, simply don't know the truth! I am trying to keep all the fame and glory of my discovery right here within out Tri-Valley. I do realize some people just don't believe my story. Well they will just miss out on this Golden Opportunity!
