Thanks so much for this link Simon. Bear's early Oils photos and anecdotes are priceless. I don't know when Bear put this up but Dodson quotes some of this in his book (and I thought he mentioned in that book somewhere about Bear having an unpublished autobiography of sorts).
I'll be honest, from an Oils perspective, specifically the early years, this is a much more satisfy read than Pete's rather disappointing tome (of which I've stalled halfway through..).
