Lily Fans are asking about grief among Ted, Lucky, and Holly. I’m not sure. Lucky and Holly spent a lot of time playing very near Honey at first, which is why 
Tedwe locked them up so they wouldn’t bother her. The last morning, Ted came over as close as he could be in his pen, about 8 feet away, but his attention seemed more toward the people than on Honey. I suspect he assumed everything was fine with her.
Honey's graveTed was out eating grass on the mound today and doing well.
The picture shows the grave location. We wanted it to be easy for Lily Fans to visit but not obtrusive to people who don’t know the bears like Lily Fans do. I like it that the spot is kept mowed and neat.
Many good ideas for mementos last night. Thank you. Not sure what to do. My mention of Honey being prominent in the calendar (like 42 pictures of her plus her story) led Lily Fans to ask if any calendars are left. Yes, hundreds. We over-ordered, and the pictures are terrific. They are mainly Jim Stroner’s super sharp pictures that capture the eyes or action, showing the lives of the four ambassador bears.

A nice thing last night was seeing Victor at WRI. I’d mentioned earlier that I was anxious to know he is still around. He was his same old self, very skittish until he understands that it is the old routine. He looks so torn up and rough but has a gentle demeanor underneath.
Thank you for all you do.
