   Hi, Mike!  Recently you wrote in a message to ARDITH HINTON:   
      
    MP>  in 2017, I visited White River, Ontario, the town where Winnie   
    MP>  was found.  The bear was named after the hometown of the   
    MP>  Canadian cavalry Captain who adopted the orphan bear in 1914.   
    MP>  It became the mascot for their brigade while they were stationed   
    MP>  in England, and was left at the London Zoo when the Captian was   
    MP>  shipped off to France.   
      
    AH>  Okay... so the original owner was in military service, then had   
    Ah>  to find another home for this critter when he got transferred.   
      
    MP>  I think he was the original "known" owner.  He got the bear from   
    MP>  the local who had originally found it.   
      
      
              I figured that was what you meant, but I probably should have asked.   
      
              Usually when we speak of adopting an animal somebody intends to   
   give it a permanent home & whoever had been looking after it was unwilling or   
   unable to continue doing this on a long-term basis....  :-)
