Rutha loved her sons! They were the joy and pride of her life--all of her seven children were! Here is her youngest son, Lorenzo--named after her husband, Jimmy's, baby brother, Lorenzo. (Rutha enjoyed naming her children after family members--it was her way of "passing on the legacy" Rutha older son's name is "Jimmy James Jr Laws the Third!" or so he called himself...) Her sons played instruments, like their father. They joined professional bands at 13 years of age. Lorenzo played the drums, Jimmy played the trumpet. Here is Lorenzo on Daytona Beach with his band, "Morning After". He is the band leader. He used the proceeds from this band to put himself through Bethune Cookman College. Here he is at graduation with Rutha, in the print dress, and sister, Alcenia. Can't you feel the PRIDE!!!!
