Remember May 18, 1950...

That was the date of a forest fire that left a small bear cub with burned paws orphaned. That little orphaned cub became known as "Smokey, The Bear." Smokey's mother was killed in the forest fire and this poor tiny cub's paws were badly burned and painful. So painful, in fact, no one could even hold him. During a promotional by the Forestry service for a visit with 'Smokey the Bear,'Smokey and this group were at an airport in the Howard (type of plane).  The bear just signed an autograph by posing on the plane." This was sent in by one of my readers. She found this picture of her father that had been taken back in May, 1950. Her father was Stanley C. Nicola, the pilot and 2nd from left.

Those pictured in the above photo - left to right: Mrs. H. W. Harts, S. C. Nicola (the pilot), L. M. Mauney, H. W. Harts; Plane: Howard DGA15P N22420. On top of plane - Smokey, The Bear, found in forest fire by rangers the day before, May 18, 1950.

As to other reader's inquiries... if you know anything about the European WWII, Pacific Theater, and where we can find a copy or two of the Panhandle (Oklahoma) History book, we would love to hear from you.

Before we head out of here for the weekend and Father's Day... I would like to drop one of my fans a special "Woof! Woof! Hello, Bennie! Thanks for taking the time to write."

Here is a little Self Empowerment poem that we wanted to share with Y'all... "Being Self-empowered, is knowing Who You Are, living life as you choose, connected with 'Afar.' This consciousness of Spirit, partners 'us' with you, you follow Self-desires, with a focused view. The more Self-empowered, the more you can lead, with this Loving guidance, this planet you will seed. Enjoy your Self-connection, as freely as you Know, nothing is impossible, let imagination flow." -- Eric M. Bordsky - Poetry of the Angels II

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY... to all those fathers out there this weekend!
See Y'all Next Weekend!
