Jeanne's Story
NAME: JEANNE R.(Russell) Lawless---- Class of 1970
Had no idea about college after High School; no one in the family went to college. But I did go eventually. Back in 1975 or so, qne of my bosses at Coca-Cola gave me money to go. But I quit after 3 quarters but finally went back after about 12 years. So I graduated Albany Jr College in 1991, from Albany State in 1997 and from Georgia Southwestern in 1999.
First marriage was a big boo-boo but finally met Christopher John Lawless in October 1978, married in August 1979, one son Brian born 1980 and 2nd son Christopher Wade born 1981. CJ (Christopher John) and I have lived in Lee County since Aug-1979.
Son Brian, GA College and State University History major, is married to Kelly; they live in Lakeland FL where both work for DisneyWorld (HA-HA --I g...Expand for more

Son Wade is a Georgia Tech Engineering graduate and now lives in Orlando, where he works for US Dept of Defense. ( This is where I get free lodging when we visit)
I used the last name SHIVER (my step-father's name) throughout school until senior year (go-DHS 1970 !!!) when we informed the school "bosses" that I should have always used my real last name (Russell). My sister (Ronna Russell--DHS 1969) had the same situation. (does that make sense?)
High school was a good time... many folks met or encountered. If I remember right, 1970 was the last class where GIRLS had to wear dresses and the GUYS could not have their hair at a length where the hair touched the shirt collar. 1970 was probably the last class where beer-drinking was our biggest NO-NO and Vietnam conflict was our hell.
