My avatar is "Bob Brown Bear". As some of you might know, my spouse Jennifer Ettinger is an artist who has produced a number of baseball paintings and other pieces of art. As part of a city wide public art project, there was a charity fund-raiser for Easter Seals http://www.spiritbearsinthecity.com
Bob Brown is the father of Vancouver Baseball, and is pictured in the Obak set  As such, it was natural for Jennifer to produce "Bob Brown Bear" as part of the project. Here's a link to a number of photos (127 to be exact) and a couple are here   After a summer downtown, the bears were auctioned off. The owner of the Vancouver Canadians bought Bob Brown Bear, and Bob is now on display at Nat Bailey Stadium where the team plays, and where much of Jennifer's artwork is reproduced for display.  To top it off, the mascot is now "Bob Brown Bear", and they even had a bobblehead night where Bob Brown Bear was given away (seen in the photo below)
