The 1940s baby named Linda from the other day reminded me of another 1940s baby named Linda:
On July 31, 1944, a baby named Linda Ann was born to parents Manuel and Ida Bonito of San Jose. “The baby was named after the airplane on which an uncle, Frank Bonito, a member of the Army Air Forces, is serving.”
Baby Linda’s 20-year-old identical twin brothers, Lester and Lawrence, were also in the service at the time she was born.
