Florence wrote asking for help finding a childhood story. Here’s her letter:
Hello Lisa,
My Grandpa was Swedish and when I was growing up he and my Dad would tell us a story about Uncle Bobby and his two monkeys; Jim & Jockle (sp?). They were naughty little monkeys. That’s about all I can recall. I’ve have searched everywhere I can think to. I came across your website & thought you might be able to help. I don’t know if the story is Swedish or not. I just know I’ve never heard it from anyone except my Grandpa & my Dad.
I would be ever so grateful if you can help me.
Thanks
Florence

Mama Lisa
