Title: A "Different" Bear Autograph
Post by: Stickbow98 on April 19, 2013, 03:55:00 AM

My copy of "Fred Bear, the Biography of an Outdoorsman" is autographed by someone whose signature I have never seen here before.... None other than "Mrs. B." herself, Henrietta Bear.
It is also signed by the legendary Mr. Frank Scott, making it even more special.

Just thought I'd share...

Very nice.Signatures of two people that were very significant in the history of Fred Bear and Bear Archery.

I also have a copy signed by Mrs. Bear and Frank Scott. I have another only signed by Frank Scott.

The handwriting of both those individuals verges on artistic...I fear that our computer age may be taking that skill away...thanks for posting that

Very true, Dave.
Other than my signature, (which never was really legible) my handwriting has definitely gotten worse. Like any other skill, it needs to be practiced.
