WINNING SMILE

Marine Lt. Colonel John W. Ripley is all smiles while holding 6-week-old Alison Jennings at a victory rally Saturday in downtown Salem. Alison is the daughter of Marine Sgt. Albert Jennings of Salem, who is in the Persian Gulf. She was born Jan. 16, the day the war started. Alison's mother, Tami, attended the rally where Ripley was guest speaker. Ripley oversees Marine and Navy units at VMI, and has a son in the Marines in Operation Desert Storm.
