Check out the adventures of "Bi" who came to visit his friend, Klondike
By Monty Siekerman
This is the fourth and final installment of the adventures of Bi, the little polar bear from the Arctic who came to visit his friend Klondike during an especially cold winter in Ada.
Today, Bi finds King-Horn/Sports Center on campus and is amazed at all the polar bears he found there.
Yes, the athletic complex has roaring, mean-looking bears, then there are some not so scary. He cuddles up to a coed on the bleachers, even finds a polar bear face made of tile on one of the walls.
Thanks for viewing. We appreciate Alumni Director Barb Meek’s loan of the cute little bear for our photo shoots. We kept him warm and well fed. We thank Jerry Maag for being the bear handler during the cold, snowy picture-taking throughout Ada and ONU.
