Stan Berenstain - who, along with his wife, Jan - created the Berenstain Bears, passed away.
He and Jan were both alumni of my alma mater, The University of the Arts... although back then, in 1941, when they met, our college was called the Philadelphia Museum School of Industrial Art
click here to see how many names my school has had throughout the years - it's ridiculous, even during my graduation, Bill Cosby was the speaker and did about 10 minutes of jokes on the names.
going back to the Berenstains... i dug the Berenstain Bears... no, they weren't like Dr. Seuss, they weren't Charles Shultz, but they were sweet and I had a ton of their books...
My condolences to Mama Bear.
