Ron(nie) Hipp becomes the fav subject of the Hon family camera for awhile

Oh yes, it is true. Donnie must have been out of town for awhile, so Ronnie became the family favorite when the Hons moved to Muskegon (Mich.) in 1944. And he was a cutie, there's no doubt about it. Paul Ronald, Jr., called Ron or Ronnie as an infant, was the second Hon grandchild and the first child born on December 1, 1943 to Uncle Paul and Aunty Evie who married on Oct. 5, 1942 in Duluth. All his positive activities are documented with commentary here, some mine, some Mom's.  Aunty Evie was a hottie even after having a baby and while hanging up diapers! Seriously few of us can do that and I could not!

Ron "feeding cake to the dog! March 1945" [My commentary. Ron a Matyn would NOT feed cake to a dog. Seriously cousin....Or did Grandma bake it? That, sadly, I could understand...]

Ron if you view this, I just want you to know that I can't be bribed and you were just too cute not to include. Sorry cousin. Don't hate me for being an archivist. I can't help it.
