That's Buddy Bear. He hasn't been traveling since he came back from Papua New Guinea (where he had been a missionary with the Up-North bunch for a year) in 2000. Buddy has been around a little bit. In addition to PNG, he's been to Montana, South Dakota, the Stump Festival in Greenville, and he's been photographed at a Cincinnati Reds ball game.

He's getting bored. Hang in there, Buddy, because in August, you're riding the rails to Montana again. Yep. Our tickets have arrived.
