.i jumped ahead to t.w. issel's story because i thought his captions would help me have some success in discovering his story. .but, it seems my research skills are lacking. .i can't even find any record of the town of west mona. .sadly, i'm a bit discouraged. 

.yes, you read that right. .the riverdale zoo used to have polar bears. .i found a toronto archives photo of the cubs in 1926, but cant seem to find when they arrived and what later happened to them.
