Lawson on Our Brain

Lately we noticed that it is becoming increasingly difficult to forget about the new LAWSON implementation project, even after we leave work. Due to its complexity, the process has been quite intense and very time consuming when we are at work, but we can’t seem to stop thinking about it when we are trying to enjoy the wonderfully cool and sunny Fall weather with our friends and family.

We could not quite put our fingers on why it was so ever-present in our minds, till we were leaving last week’s To-Be sessions at Aloft Hotel to go home and we saw this:


Turns out, Lawson is running for Congress!

We’ve been so involved with the LAWSON software, that we forget that it is also a last name. We got curious to see what other Lawson’s are doing and this is who we found:
  • Nigella Lawson: Famous British food writer, journalist and broadcaster who hosts the delicious cooking show, “Nigella Bites” on the Cooking channel.
  • Henry Lawson: Often cited as Australia’s greatest writer, Henry Lawson was known for both his poetry and prose. His most famous works are “While the Billy Boils" and "Over the Sliprails.”
  • Lawson Little: American professional golfer who won the 1940 US Open. He also had an amazing amateur career in which he won both the US Amateur and British Amateur in 1934 and in 1935.
  • Cardinal Rex Lawson: Was a famous singer, trumpeter and bandleader from Kalabari, Nigeria.
  • Alfred W. Lawson: A professional baseball player, manager and league promoter from 1887 through 1916, who also went on to play a pioneering role in the U.S. aircraft industry, publishing two early aviation trade journals.
If you know of other Lawson’s, please do not hesitate to share with us!
