From our email:

�Hello Inside Bear

I received the Metrobears NY information about you. I read it. I could not understand it very well. I let you know. I am hard of hearing and came here from other country. I thought you looking for talent bear man. I am interesting for talent bear. But I wanted to know more specific about your plan. So, I will understand it and maybe I will like to visit and meet you and talk about it more lately.

Sincerely,

Bear George�

We replied wanting to know more info and sent him more info about us:

�Hello Inside Bear Thank you and finally your reply mine. Now, I understood you well.

I born in the Middle East. But my parent came from Republic of Czech and Russian.

I am afraid that I cannot do it for yours. Because I am hard of hearing. My hearing lost is 60 percent (L ear) and 40 percent (R ear). Thank you again for your explain more clearly it to me.

George�

We just couldn�t resist, then we asked for an interview, here is what was said:

IB How about an interview on yourself?

G I experienced in the printing department and computer graphic. I am co-owner of business with family.

IB How have you become hard of hearing?

G When I was small child. I got high fever. The Doctor gave me shot. It caused me damaged my hearing nervous. I was in the Middle East. That's how I became hard of hearing. Now, I am using hearing aid. Sometimes I can hear accent voice.

Sometimes I could not hear it

IB How are you coping with it?

G I may read lips, act and write on the paper.

IB What makes you a bear man? Why do you consider yourself a bear?

G I never thought of myself that I am bear that's time ago. One day my friend took me and went to New York City and Bar. It is for bear and country. Then, I saw all bear people. They called me "Woof, Woof, Woof." I surprised of them. I asked my friend. What's mean is Woof? My friend smile and told me that I am really bear. I looked all bear people. Now, I understand what's mean is bear and say woof. I looked at my mirror and naked myself. AAAAh, I see that I have a hairy chest and back and big meat not fat or overweight. So, I accepted that I am bear. Now, I am happy about myself.

Of course we asked:

IB Do you have any pictures?

G Yes I have two pictures one is here and one is in the attach.

G I hope, my answered your question correct. Please let me know about it.

Sincerely, George
