Laurie (Jatras) King:  

I lived in the Spring Branch/ Seabrook/ Sharpstown areas for all of my school years. When I was 16 I got pregnant and married my boyfriend. I had my daughter when I was 17, and we moved to Sacramento, California, for a year. That was nice, but I was homesick, we came back to Houston and opened a record store at the flea market off of the Southwest Freeway. We were pretty successful at this and eventually opened a record store on West Alabama. Our store, "Earwax" records was known throughout the collecting circles and record industry as one of the top stores in the country for rare and promotional recordings and products. My first husband and I divorced after 7 years of marriage, and I remarried. I had my second daughter in 1984. I ended up getting into teaching, and I taught advanced math for HISD to grades 1-5...Expand for more
