Most of us had favorite cartoon characters as a child, or perhaps a famous or legendary figure.  One such famous figure is Smokey the Bear.  Almost every child in America knows Smokey and his famous saying "Only you can prefent forrest fires."

In this episode I explore a bit about the story behind the story of this iconic figure.  His fame spans America's past and present and will likely continue into the future.

So come join me as we learn about our friend Smokey.
