I remember Ronnie and Ronnie's Lunch very well! Being a teenage waitress and chamber maid at the OLD.... Kimball House in the 50's! Ronnies Lunch was the place ... in between meals etc. Used to throw on our trench coats over our uniforms and hurry down as fast as we could in between our working hours. Lot's of wonderful memories! Many a hamburger and coke were consumed there! My condolences to all Ronnie's families.
