PBT's Bearheart and Cedar
Bear
Invited to Participate in StoryCorps
StoryCorps
is an independent nonprofit project whose mission is to honor and celebrate
one another’s lives through listening. Since 2003, over 50,000 everyday
people have interviewed family and friends through StoryCorps. Each
conversation is recorded on CD and preserved at the Library of
Congress. StoryCorps is one of the largest oral history projects of its kind
When the StoryCorps folks
came to Pensacola in February, Robert Johns Cedar Bear was invited to
interview his dad, Chief Bobby Johns Bearheart. The two were honored to
accept this opportunity to share a part of their lives. Their story will be
available soon on the StoryCorps website:

February 19 -The Bearmobile
& Crew spent a great day at Bear Lake with the Baker School
5th Graders . . .


Now
here's the Rest of the Story . . .
Driving back to Pensacola, the
Bearmobile had a
FLAT TIRE . . . right in front of a place where a lady
was giving horse riding lessons. There were children and adults there, of
course, and the crippled Bearmobile quickly got everyone's attention. So
what did Robert, Pat and Sandra do after the tire was changed?
Why, they gave the people an impromptu
tour of the museum and a lesson in Indian history, culture and hospitality,
right there on the side of the road!
It was a very good day,
despite a flat tire!

February 26 - Colonial Day
at Fort Conde - Mobile, AL

Strong Fox: How Fox Came to Help a Village
Grow Stronger
Strong
Fox is a children's book, written and published by PBT members Stan
Cartwright and Edna Dixon. Reminiscent of the old stories told to Creek
Indian Children long ago, the story is sure to entertain while teaching a
valuable lesson in self esteem.
A portion of all proceeds will be donated to
PBT in support of our outreach programs.
Order Strong Fox for the children you love
and extra copies to donate to your local school or library
