Commentary by Elaine B. Holtz, Host
Humans love to celebrate and occasionally, I want to check up and see what is being celebrated on the day of the show, today it is January 18, and we are celebrating Martin Luther King, Jr. Birthday but we are also celebrating Winnie the Pooh Day which I found interesting since this is one of my favorite books, I loved to read to my daughter Susan. I found these suggestions on how to celebrate the day and with the pandemic and so many children at home I thought it would be fun to mention the Ways to Celebrate Winnie the Pooh Day that I found plus provide some history I found which I thought would be of interest.
Winnipeg, or Winnie, (1914 – 12 May 1934) was the name given to a female black bear that lived at London Zoo from 1915 until her death in 1934. Rescued by cavalry veterinarian Harry Colebourn, Winnie is best-remembered for inspiring A. A. Milne and E. H. Shepard’s character, Winnie-the-Pooh.
Like Colebourn, A.A. Milne had served in World War I, and the idyllic setting of the 100-Acre Wood was a welcome sanctuary from the horrors of the Western Front that remained fresh in his mind and those of many readers in the 1920s. The Hundred Acre Wood of the Winnie-the-Pooh stories is Five Hundred Acre Wood in Ashdown Forest in East Sussex, England, where the Winnie-the-Pooh stories were set.
