George Bennett was my great uncle. His daughter, Beatrice, is still living - will be age 101 on Sept. 18. Her memory is better than mine. If you will send your email address, I will give you an address and a telephone number for her. Walter and wife are mentioned in the autobiography that Bea wrote several years ago.
