Gregory Lawson:  

Life 2016 ends and Life is Good no GREAT!!! Grandkids are growing, Children are amazing (youngest has published the first book of a three book deal, Carol and I are healthy and my Mom and Dad are alive and well...) Who could ask for more? My Spouse: I met Carol on a camping trip in California. My Kids: My oldest daughter Arielle attended Drew University and received her Masters from the University of Pennsylvania. She is married and lives in Houston, Texas. Arielle's first daughter, Mykaela, is a delightful 8 year old who has me wrapped around her little finger. Jade, my second granddaughter celebrated her 5rd birthday in 2010. UPDATE: My third grandchild is a boy... Torrin Gregory Lawson was born August 10, 2011. My youngest daughter Elienne graduated from the University of Virginia in the top 25 of her class and was nominated for a Rhodes and was a finalist. She is a member of Phi Beta Kappa. Part of what makes this so special is that Elienne is profoundly deaf. Elienne recently completed her Masters at the Courtauld Institute at the University of London. In addition to English and American Sign, Elienne has learned to speak, read and write French and Italian, and has never heard them spoken. Eli's cochlear implant surgery and programming have been extremely successful. She accomplished her goal of being "communications independent" and has mastered telephone without a call attendant. Elienne had a second implant in her other ear in August 2005. Eli writes beautifully and has found a way to offset some of her foreign travel costs by writing travel articles. She has had four articles published by Escape Artists. UPDATE: Eli has published her first book (On Yoga) and hosts a weekly radio show under the name Ramdesh Kaur.

I am obligated to consult for several years and I'm trying to decide what to do next. I'm still into cars and have a small collection of five nice rides: a 68 Cadillac convertible (near showroom condition), a 94 Jag XJS Racing Coupe I bought new (supercharged, 5 speed and perfect), a 85 Mustang GT convertible (26,000 miles original everything and all the Saleen goodies), a 88 F250 HD (restored last year and stroked to 537 CID) and a 55 Chevy 2 door hardtop Bel Air Sport Coupe (4 speed and a 68 Vette motor) which I will restore to the next level this year. (See photo's if interested.) UPDATE I sold the Mustang for more money than I ever thought I would get and the 55 Chevy is finished. Although I had no symptoms of any cardiac problems, I failed a stress test as a part of my annual physical in 2005. My Cardiologist thought a stent or two and ...Expand for more
