Another Storytime 

A few years ago, I did a blog about a wonderful artist, Jurga Sculpteur.  Good friend, and amazing artist, Norma said: "Love the blog today and sculptures, especially the little girl, holding the teddy. I still have my teddy I got when I was 3 years old.  He is stuffed with straw and my mom sewed him up many times!”

I replied: "I love your memories of your teddy and especially that your Mom did repairs so often. He was well-loved! I don't remember ever having a teddy bear, but I think I had a stuffed black Scotty dog? Seems to me he had a plaid blanket? "

But I do still have the teddy bear I bought for Aunt Vonda to hug when she was in a nursing home. I actually bought two, one for Aunt Martha first, and she did hug it a lot. Aunt Martha's bear was misplaced, but when Aunt Vonda passed they gave me the bear. He is not straw-stuffed, so is probably a huge dust magnet, but I can't "bear" to toss him. I just took a picture of him, he stays in my bedroom. I do hug him sometimes when I need a hug.

David Letterman, who graduated from Ball State University in 1970 and often joked that he was just a “C student,” created an unusual scholarship at his alma mater in 1985.

Instead of rewarding the highest GPA, the Letterman Telecommunications Scholarship is awarded to students in the university’s media and telecommunications program based mainly on creative talent.

Applicants submit original projects—such as videos, scripts, or other media—and the most inventive entries win awards of $10,000, $5,000, and $3,333.

Letterman designed the scholarship to support students who might not be straight-A academic performers but show strong imagination and potential in broadcasting and storytelling, reflecting his belief that success in media often comes from creativity rather than perfect grades.
