Skipper Zipp's?

I'm not sure if anyone had mentioned this before, or if it's even relative, but I thought I'd share. Excuse me, please, if it's already been talked about, sometimes it's hard to keep up with all the info:
I know the stuff was sent to Maddy by someone named Mr. Zipp. And there has been a lot of Dr. Seuss books and fish references brought into the ARG.
I just wanted to mention, that there is a small poem by Dr. Seuss called "Eat at Skipper Zipp's". (It's in one of my daughter's story collections.)
Considering that Mr. Zipp wants her to help his child, and that he's a "Skipper" I would assume that this is surely Jonas' dad!

Dang, nice catch! I just didn't read enough Seuss, growing up.

It's also talking about "eating" at Skipper Zipp's, and haven't all the drops been at restaurants? I think I'm grasping at straws on that one, though, lol!
Finally, I might actually have contributed something useful to an ARG! Woot!

Lola posted the whole poem in the newest drop thread.
I didn't even realize that it was a whole story, I only knew the shortened version that's in my daughter's "Easy to Read Stories" book.
Maybe there are more clues there!

I didn't read any. I feel like I've missed out!

Wow - That's really interesting! How could we find out if this is really from Jonas' dad. Would Jonas be able to solve that for us?

Maybe through Bree? She's been pretty active on the forum lately.
