I grew up in Berkeley, California a fan of the University of California Golden Bears football and basketball teams. My father told me that Golden Bears used to exist and the last one was shot by a Russian hunter on the eventual site of the Cal football stadium is today. Into my early teen years I believed that bears with golden colored fur once roamed Northern California.
