Jim Schettig and Lolita
      My dear friend Lynn, who died in May, waged a valiant battle against non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.  One of her goals was to visit us in Costa Rica and hold a monkey, and today her husband Jim fulfilled that wish for her.  Lolita fell in love with Jim instantly, which she's only done with one other person (our friend Gloria Yeatman).    
      We're sure you're smiling, Lynn :-]

    In the jungle with the monkeys.

       Jane Goodall has always been my hero, and working with primates an aspiration.  Africa wasn't in the cards the summer I turned 16, when my parents offered to send me to volunteer,  and there was only one class (in physical anthro-pology) when I wanted to study primatology in college.  
         Decades later my husband and I retired in Costa Rica, and this is our journey with spider (and howler) monkeys.
