Welcome to the world of Clyde-Fred. The teddy bear with morals. The original Clyde-Fred was born in the early 1980's when my grandma mailed to my mother a package containing the ugliest red and orange plaid fabric I had ever seen. Her instructions were for my mom to make my sister and me some pants out of this hideous material. Needless to say, we just laughed. My Mother decided instead to make a teddy bear for my little brother. The name "Clyde-Fred" was given to the bear by my brother, after Clyde, my dad's boss, and Fred, my grandfather. Over the years, our family has grown to adore the little bear. He has been a source of comfort and humor to all of us. My kids have grown to love Clyde-Fred as much as I do, and I sincerely hope that many other children will learn the simple, yet powerful message that our colorful friend, Clyde-fred, has to pass on. After all, the world can always use a little more love. Lani Walling
