Biography
Russell Lester was 6'4" tall. With black curly hair and very thin. He had a car wreck when his children were little and suffered brain damage. He had to learn how to walk and talk all over again. He then stuttered when he talked and staggered when he walked. He didn't remember his family when he first came out of the coma. He was in coma in a hospital in TN for about 4 months, I believe. Gradually some memories came back to him.
