Well it would not have been very sporting, I hope the little bear was set free.

I knew this about the Teddy Bears but it is so fun to be reminded. And what a great photo of Theodore.

I'd heard the Teddy Bear story when I was a little kid. The president at
that time was also a Roosevelt, but it was FDR, not Theodore. Franklin D. was the guy in charge during WWII, and only later did we learn he was in a wheelchair because of Polio. It was in his name they started the March of Dimes to find a cure for that dread virus and later on, other conditions.
