Lizard's Tale

By: Faye Jones

Lizard's Tale inspires others to make their own path through life. It is about day to day life, standing boldly for your personal beliefs, living life on your terms, and yet always respecting others and being true to your values.

A unique man who faced obstacles with wit and charm, who loved unconditionally and enjoyed life to the fullest, Ralph Lane Jones earned the nickname 'Lizard' due to his ability to slither, jump and spot opportunities for winning against opponents. He viewed life as a challenge to become a winner in the game of life. He won.
