NOEL KING, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Noel King. A 6-year-old girl was reunited with her teddy bear. Naomi got the bear when she was adopted from Ethiopia. They traveled together to Rwanda, Croatia and Greece. But last year, she lost him along a trail in Glacier National Park. A ranger found the teddy in the snow after dark, and months later, a family friend spotted him sitting in that ranger's truck. The ranger said he just couldn't bear to throw teddy away. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
