Born Douglas Marion Price Sep 8, ’53 Anniston, Al. to Mr & Mrs T.S. Price (a self employed plumber’s family) Doug grew up on the poor Westside, in an old “lapside” weather boarded house. He attended City Schools and Jacksonville State University (B.S. ’75). Wed to Miss Rita Paolini, he finished JSU and worked in U.S. Gov’t Civ. Service. Excelling but hurt at stalled career moves, he was driven (0 income) from 20 yrs service. Father to 3, he beat jobless depression to create “LAPSIDE”. Yet the Cost was high to Birth the Love Story. A good friend, coined “Sir Douglas”.
