Height: 13″
Belongs to: Gerry Ryan/Babette Ryan
Gerry and his brother Mano both owned
this bear as children. Gerry took to carrying
him around as an adult, after watching
Brideshead Revisited, and renamed him
Aloysius. He often spoke of him on the radio
show he hosted for twenty-two years. There
is still a trace of lipstick visible that Gerryâs
mother Maureen applied at one point.
Since Gerryâs sudden passing in 2010,
One Eyed Ted is being cared for by Gerryâs
daughter Babette.
