Hughes Kids

Tom, Bob, Mary, John, Kathy, and Tim are the children of Dick and Marie Hughes of Remsen, Iowa. They grew up on a farm southeast of town. To settle any argument about how cute they were, the following photos are offered. Even when grown up, they seem to be up to their old tricks, and still look pretty darn cute, too.
