My oldest grandson is now five and when he came over to see Pop-Pop at Christmas time, we got out his Bear chip collection that I had started for him on his first birthday. We looked at all the chips and I said to him " Ian , let's see if we can find pictures of all your chips on the internet." So we came to Greg's site and went around the Country by clicking on the U S map. He got a good geography lesson at the same time. We were able to locate all most all of his chips on the various sites including Canada, A.C., Nevada, etc. In going thru the various States we found some Bear Chips he did not have in his collection. So I told him I would try to get the chips for him that we saw. Here is a list of the chips Ian and I are looking for, if you have any of these please email me. Thanks
