...Bull ran a front-page ad in the London Times requesting "History of E. Bear Esquire. Reminiscences, Data, Photographs." He also issued public pleas for facts and figures on arctophilia during television appearances with "Theodore," oldest of his own Teddies (all of whom, he complains, get into "a foul temper" when he is away from them).
