Smiles and teddy bears

Kim Fundingsland/MDN A cuddly teddy bear is always welcome. Here Boyd Hendrickson, Minot, front, clutches one of many colorful teddy bears given away by Bob Gross, Minot. In the back is Lyndcie Pfliger, left, holding Liam Hendrickson 2, and Joslyn Gerard, 9, right. Gross is well known for distributing bikes, coats and backbacks to children in memory of his nephew, Dayson Gross, who was killed in a vehicle accident in 2002. “I try to put on smile and a child’s face and make them happy,” said Gross of his teddy bear giveaway. “This is just one of the things I like to do.”
