Debbie Everett:  

Life I live in Ottine, still!!!! Can't get me out of Ottine. I have been married to the same wonderful guy (John Everett) for 35 years. We have 3 boys, John Jr. , Christopher & Cory. We have 4 beautiful grandchildren, Victoria who is 14 and Matthew who is almost 10 Victoria and Matthew live in Austin with their mom & dad. Savannah who is 12 and Payton is 28 months old. Savannah & Payton live in New Braunfels with their mom & dad. So all of our grandchildren live close by, which is awesome. I work as a Bookkeeper for Texas Elks Children's Services in Ottine for over 27 years. My husband John works in Austin at the University of Texas as a Chilling Station Supervisor. My husband and I are very involved with the Ottine V.F.D. and other Ottine Community activities. We also love spending time with our kids & grandkids as much as possible. ..My family has been very blessed....... School Gloria Maples inspired me to go into the accounting field. Since I really didn't want to go to a 4 year college I went to a 1 year business school in Austin. NOW I wish I had gotten an Accounting Degree to make the big bucks. Back then you couldn't have paid me enough money to go to a 4 year college. Mr. Karnau was my "FAVORITE" teacher. I thought back then, and still do think he's the greatest. He was always there if we needed help with anything. No matter what. And, of course, "Band" was my favorite subject. Other than Band and Mrs. Maples Bookkeeping class our senior year, those were my favorite classes. Otherwise I didn't much care for school, thus is why I didn't attend a 4 year college. All the great Band trips we took, I guess were my greatest memories. We had so much fun on those trips. I remember during our Senior year...Expand for more
