Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
My wife and I were at the Lyric Opera last December. During intermission, we met an older man holding a teddy bear. He told us the bear had traveled with him to opera houses in Russia, Italy and England. We chatted a while and then he blended into the crowd.
Later I started thinking about this brief Christmastime encounter with a kindly old man who visits cities around the world, carrying a child’s toy. Could it have been . . . ?
