Thank you Ken, Norm, Don, Eric, and everyone else that hooked me up and helped me get Bear in front of the cameras after repairs to the front paw. I put Laurie off several times while Eric encoraged me and talked me through this repair. I haven't checked all the pictures and video yet, but there should be some interesting shots. As with all things, I don't have a clue as to how much of Bear will wind up on the tube, but they sure took a lot of film and it seemed that Bear was constantly being called on to perform.
I expect the spots to air from June thru August on multiple channels including ESPN and the History Channel.
Got to see a heck of a lot during the shoot and everyone was very friendly on the set. Food was fantastic. Best Roast Beef and shrimp with noodles I ever had.
Best Wishes
Lonnie
