I’m uncertain of places and dates, I seem to remember him talking about Wyoming.(?) his name was Bennie Johnson. If anyone has any information I would be most grateful for your response.

Stories my family told said he was the owner of Alice Teddy, but it's nice to know that he instead owned Foxey Queen and his friend George Crapsey owned Alice. After all, two trained bears are better than one, right? I think this is a fascinating story and one I will certainly continue to pass down to my own children.

She even performed in Syracuse, NY in Nov. 1914.<BR/><BR/>In 1911 she traveled to France. Found at ancestry today.<BR/><BR/>The Marion Daily Star (Marion, Ohio) 1911 June 19, bottom of pg 5<BR/><BR/>Arthur Holterman, whose home is in this city and who is well known here, is now in Paris, France, traveling with Alice Teddy, the skating bear. A postal recieved from him, this morning, states that the bear is making a hit and drawing big crowds in the foreign county.Charley "Apple" Grabowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07193646109965731249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38696983.post-7363713515685169642007-11-29T06:13:00.000-08:002007-11-29T06:13:00.000-08:00Miriam, Ah!
