Woman who died with bear guru was duped.(Treadwell, environut)
Anchorage Daily News ^ | 1/16/2005 | Craig Medred

For 16 months since Amie Huguenard and Timothy Treadwell died in the jaws of a bear at Kaflia Bay on the Katmai Coast, I have been waking up at night with thoughts of this 37-year-old Midwestern woman I never knew.

I can't get free of the words in an e-mail from an old boyfriend, sent months after Huguenard's death.

"Amie had a kind of naivete about her that added a real sweetness to her entire persona,'' Stephen Bunch wrote. "At times it was easy to convince her of things that were not entirely true. We would let her in on these jokes and get a good laugh, especially from her.

"Sometimes I found this quality frustrating because I would watch her 'swallow the hook, line and sinker' in situations where it was obvious what was going on. But I always felt I could trust her because she bestowed the same trust in you unconditionally.''

The last person Amie Huguenard trusted was Treadwell, and it led to her death in the jaws of a bear.

Ever since, she has been billed as Treadwell's "partner" in the tragedy. Early reviews of "Grizzly Man,'' a Treadwell film set to air at the Sundance Film Festival later this month, describe her that way or as the "girlfriend'' following Treadwell on his quest to "leave the confinements of his humanness and bond with the bears.''

That's a novel idea -- and one that is so much bunk.

LOL! She sure is pretty in pink, if she only had a matching pink bag, for her head.

Makes sense to me.....but has anyone ever survived the recoil from one of those?

It uses a 40mm grenade similar to that used in the M-79. The recoil from a single shot is probably comparable.

Try 68-69, then the 8th EOD were at To-bong-song or where the eight is on the mountain a little south of Redcloud.

Nice girl, really, but a date requires some additional precautions. You don't want anything to be easily mistaken for a banana.

I'm not familiar with either of those, but my shoulder aches, just thinking about it.

Wife offered me a 416 a few years ago. Just couldn't justify it without a few trips to the great white north. 375 might do the trick too.

I really like this 45-70. Holds 9+1.

She could drive a lot of guys ape, with merely an extremely extreme make over of that face.
