Introductions are in order, are they not? Shortly, I write letters and read but a few books and essays and I am as stubborn as a moose.
I am Van Allen Bear, Commander of the Northernmost Region of the Great Bear Trail! I hail from the United States, a good lot of them, really. I was born in the jungles on an isle in the great ocean of the Pacific, baked under the Phoenix desert sun, grew in the shade of the redwoods in the rain forest, and raised in the glacial valleys of the Great North. Half of my life has been spent in South-central Alaska, the other among the western states. Throughout my travels, I’ve had interesting persons cross my path which has allowed me to recall enjoyable tales and extraordinary circumstances. I, among numerous other journeys with my colleagues, have canoed the Yukon River and climbed the Pass where the gold miners made their first break into the rough country. High adventure and great learning have been the themes of my life, and the future is undeniably brighter and richer than it has ever looked before.
“I do not care what those of Babylon have to say about my standing, I am the King Zoomer, and the succession of my crown must be won in the combat of culture.”

Dearest readers, my heart is full! I humbly accept the duties at hand. We all have a dream here, in our respective categories, and I shall do what must be done to facilitate the transmissions of those said dreams. I am but a scribe, and know full well the appropriateness of inclusions to The Beartaria Times. We shall never commiserate unfortunate circumstances, for there is no despair in Beartaria!
It is I! Onward, to Beartaria!
