The McDonald’s of Vernon celebrated the career of crew member Ray Aronson with an all-day celebration on June 19, honoring his 40 years of employment for the family-owned and operated restaurant. Aronson was hired in 1969 and has worked for the Vernon McDonald’s ever since. His primary job for the last 40 years has been the drive-thru window. To honor Ray’s 40 years of service, customers enjoyed 40-cent ice cream cones all day on June 19 as well as enjoying celebration cake.
