Lessons Learned from a Funny-Looking Bear

The stories in Gang Gang and Baboomba Bear go back to when my grandfather, Benjamin Franklin Underhill, whom I called Gang Gang, would put me on his knee and tell me story after story about a very special bear that lived in the forest near the lumber camp where he worked in New Brunswick, Canada. He was such a good storyteller that I remembered many of them years later and passed them on to my own grandsons, Ethan and Evan who, along with their parents, encouraged me to write some of them down.

But there was more to Gang Gang than storytelling. In his younger years, he was also a world champion log-roller. I remember reading about him in a clipping from the Montreal Gazette. But as proud as I was of his accomplishments, to me, he was a quiet witness of a life lived to please God. I watched him as I grew up, and his example would eventually play an important part in my becoming a follower of Christ.
