Ronald Gripon

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: December 1962 in San Diego, San Diego County, California United States
