    Belle Benchley was my great aunt. My grandmother was her sister Helen Jennings Bailey. We has many great visits with her as I grew up. She had such wonderful stories to tell about the zoo. My cousin, Laurel Benchley still lives in San Diego. She was a truly great lady. My favorite book was Shirley Visits the Zoo.
