Bears mail

You're referring to the famous "Dear Abby" column, which was actually written by Pauline Phillips and her daughter Jeanne Phillips under the pen name "Abigail Van Buren" (Abby for short). The column was syndicated and appeared in many newspapers from 1956 until Pauline's passing in 2013.

The column focused on providing advice on relationships, family, and personal issues, often with a humorous and lighthearted tone. The name "Dear Abby" was chosen because it was a playful take on the phrase "dear aunt," and it was meant to convey a sense of warmth and approachability.

As for bears, I'm not aware of any notable "Bears Mail" column or publication. However, if you're looking for advice on how to deal with bears or other wildlife, I'd be happy to try and help you out!
