Mr. Fawley's Bears

By CATHY BARKER “I like collecting bears because everyone enjoys them. I enjoy the aspejts of bears, they remind me of peasant times when I was a chilgr stated Mr. Phil Fawley, an/Kiglish teacher at Wawasee HySjSchool. PT. Fawley has been actively coveting bears since his wife’s /■3 e ih in 1984, before that time /thK had collected them, but not ! as/nuch as he does now. N’hen Mr. Fawley says collecti'n he does not mean a specific Kid such as polar bears or any specific number. As a matter of fact, right now he has around 245, but he is not sure because he has never counted them. Some of the bears he has purchased himself, but the majority of them have been given to him by friends, family and acquaintances. Not only does he have many stuffed bears, he has cross stitched bears, a bear picture album and frame, music box, stained glass, and bear napkin holders. Mr. Fawley has bears for every season and most holidays. At Christmas time his tree is decorated with bears especially created for that time of the year. The star on top of the tree is an angel cradling a bear. As he says, “Everywhere you look there are bears.” Although this is true, of all the bears he has, none are duplicates. With all these bears one might „ think he has a favorite, but he

says he really does not. When you visit him, though, you know he has favorites just by the way he talks about and describes them. Some of the bears Mr. Fawley has are very old and some are new. The different kinds include a Gund bear from Texas; a pro fessor bear by Dakin; the Hotel Tuttington bears; a Paddington Bear ; a Bralosky bear, which has on it “save the bears”; and a Audrey Hepbearn as My Bear Lady. Other special bears are a Goram September bear that is his birthday bear, three handmade LU. bears, a bear that he has had since his childhood that has been redone over the years, an antique Steiff mohair bear (the Steiff company originally made bears), and a cross stitched bear with the saying “Hie Oldest Friendships are the Dearest.” Mr. Fawley says what he most enjoys about his hobby is that other people enjoy them, too. “I feel if you have a hobby you shouldn’t be greedy or selfish — share them with others. People like bears and find something comforting about them,” Mr. Fawley stated. When asked if there was any kind of bear he would like to add to his collection he said a Steiff bear that growls. Mr. Fawley loves having people come and see his bears and he can spend hours telling about them. If you get a chance, ask if you can drop by and see them it will be a very worthwhile experience.

' Evans said the academic program will consist of an intense and active immersion in intellectually challenging activities. The curriculum will include a combination of a major subject concentration, interdisciplinary seminars on special topics, and personal growth, self-appraisal and leadership training seminars. Students will spend about half of their time in a major subject area of their choosing, and participate in one for two interdisciplinary, seminars which address an issue of historical or con-
