The Traditions are to the groups what the Steps are to the individual. So listen in as Edward and Tyler spend some time discussing not only the legacy, the lore and the wisdom of the Traditions, but also life, love, relationship, loyalty, Viagra and vampires. Edward Bear was born in Brooklyn and grew up in Los Angeles. Early adventures included a brief stint in minor-league baseball and too many years in construction, day labor and other dead-end jobs. A correspondence course in electronics landed him a job at Hewlett Packard, where he was employed for nearly thirty years. Mr. Bear lived in the Rocky Mountains with his wife, played a vintage Martin guitar and wrote in the time left to him by the gods and goddesses. He died in 2006. Used Book in Good Condition
