Kenneth on Taking Care of Infant Kip

Kenneth on Taking Care of Infant Kip

When Kip was born, Kenneth said, "This boy and I are going to get acquainted." It was impossible to find anyone to come into the home and help. He took annual leave for two weeks, brought Margaret and Kip home from the hospital, and took care of both of them. After two weeks, Margaret was up and around and took over.
