This one comes from Judy:
"Many years ago when I was living with Dad (Harry Dennison) down by the Wyler School he took me to the Heritage House in Madison for supper for my birthday, and I don't remember how old I was. Anyway they had a gift shop there and I saw this big white bear that I just loved but it cost $60. We were getting ready to leave to come back home and here is Dad with this big bear. Well, I was really shocked and never expected him to get that bear for me. Also, I felt guilty because he had spent so much. So I gave him $30 (half the cost of the bear). That bear has been with me for many years and survived a fire in 1996. Today "Dirty Harry" sits on top of my cedar chest. After Dad died I was talking to my sister Dawn and was telling her this story and she laughed and I couldn't understand why she thought this was funny. She told me that Dad got the bear free from the owner of the restaurant as they were good friends. I was out $30 and I'm sure Dad got a big kick out of it. Well, as they say, "There's a sucker born every minute."
