DescriptionPhotograph of Bob Dunn with his book, I’m Gonna Be a Father, 1941. Bob Dunn wrote and/or illustrated a dozen books, here seen with his "I'm Gonna Be a Father," published in 1941 and inspired by the expected birth of his son, Bob Jr. The book became a best-seller, prompting Robert Ripley to report in his widely syndicated illustrated feature "Ripley's Believe It or Not," that Dunn Jr. was the first baby who paid for his college education before he was born.
