Ethel Jones was quite a character. The Driftwood was a go to spot in high school. There were a few fights, every now and then, but always a good time. The crowd was a combination of hookers, rednecks, businessmen, and politicians.

My mother's cousin was once mayor of Many, her husband was John Godfrey, a local lawyer, he represented Jones after she shot and killed a guy robbing her trailer one night. She shot him 6 times reloaded, and shot him 6 more, I believe the guy was un-armed, it was ruled self defense.
After thinking about it the women tha did the shooting might not have been Jones, but someone named something like Easley or Beasley, but was still heavily associated with the Driftwood.
