A photo of my dad, Ronald Gripon, with his mom and dad, Almon and Geneva Gripon. My dad at about 3 years old with his mother and father. I wonder if he knew that about 50 years from then, he would be retiring as an officer in the U.S. Navy.
Date & Place: in Beaumont, Jefferson County, Texas United States

Ronald Gripon
A photo of Ronald Gripon, Dad, way way back when. This was just after the end of WWII and my dad after serving proudly in the Pacific Theater witnessing the surrender of the defeated Japanese Empire while aboard the USS Missouri, which his primary duty was to clean the barrels of the big guns. He almost lost his life in a freak accident when he was cleaning a barrel and fell asleep. A sudden battle erupted and the gun he was napping in was used to sink one of the few remaining Japanese battle ships. He was shot right down the barrel of one of their guns and they ended up firing him right back, before they had the opportunity to torture him. He slept through the entire thing, but when he woke up, he said he had a dream that he had just been born, twice.
He was awarded several medals that day, including one from the Japanese for his help cleaning out their rusted old barrel.

A photo of Ronald Gripon, my dad, way back when. Fresh out of basic training in San Diego. I wonder if he knew he'd be retiring 30 years later as an officer, having been fortunate enough to spend about 25 of those years right here in San Diego.
Those were the days, as you can assume by the printed date on the photo, that it could take months before you ran through the entire roll of film so they can be developed.
Date & Place: in San Diego, San Diego County, California United States
