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.

For sure.

If you want to make absoultely certain that the bear is croaked, I would suggest this

[Luddite Patent Counsel]

Is that the third Williams sister?

[F.J. Mitchell]

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

Uh-oh. You sound familiar. Camp Red Cloud 89-90 by chance?

[SolidRedState]

I thought that was Al Franken's mother.

[F.J. Mitchell]

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

[Army Air Corps]

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

[JackelopeBreeder]

One of the niftiest toys to ever come from Santa's workshop. No home should be without one.

[Army Air Corps]

I have one mounted on the back of my car for use against tailgaters. :)

[F.J. Mitchell]

LOL! Some facial features, frankly did appear Frankenesque.

[U S Army EOD]

Actually its nothing serious, we just monkey around a bit.

[U S Army EOD]

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.

[JackelopeBreeder]

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

[F.J. Mitchell]

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

[U S Army EOD]

I always felt that was her best feature.

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.
