She received this particular symbol due to the fact I was pregnant with her while we were living in Utah.During one of our camping trips we ran across a huge Grizzly Bear rocking the cage in the back of a truck. We asked what was going on and found out they were up there training this bear for an up comming movie. Was totally amazing watching this 7ft tall bear being controlled by just voice commands. The training area had a single strand of wire confining him. We were allowed to sit and watch the session as long as we stayed in our vehicle. Took many pictures which I think Jamie has somewhere. Found out later that the bear was none other than BART. He has starred in such movies as The Great Outdoors, Clan of the Cave Bear, The Bear,and numerous others, the latest being...The Edge and comercials. It is an experience I will never forget.
