John Lawson,
Resident of the Month
John was born to Paul and Maxie Lawson
in August 1937, at the Old Baptist Hospital
in Springfield, Mo. John has one sister,
Becky Mabary. He attended school at Dolin
and Hillcrest in Springfield, Mo. He received
his G.E.D. and went on to get a degree in
Sales.
Looking back on his childhood, he says
his fondest memories involve his time
spent with The Miller Brothers Circus, which
was a family circus, owned and operated by
his grandparents. He always enjoyed being
John Lawson
a part of all the behind the scene activity. John was looking forward to
eventually performing along side several other family members on the
trapeze. Just before John made his debut as a trapeze artist, the family
circus was sold to the Barnum & Bailey Circus. John will often reminisce
and tell stories about the times his family would perform and different
venues in Springfield including the old drive-in theater and the Shrine
Mosque.
John spent many years working with his father in construction and
painting. Eventually, he became a Meat Market Salesman and traveled
all around the St. Louis area. John’s favorite vehicle was a 1957 red and
white Ford.
He loves to sit down and enjoy a good hamburger and his favorite dog
his Doberman, Tootsie. John likes to spend his time crafting, crocheting
and working with his hands. He enjoys doing Indian bead and leather
work. Some of John’s favorite activities here at CMHCF. are Bible study,
music, and the men’s lunches. Congratulations to John Lawson on being
CMHCF’s Resident of the Month!
