Betty Reynolds:  

Who I am as prompted by the "story wizard." I always wanted to be a some sort of motorcycle tester, race car driver or a state trooper when I grew up. My family and friends thought they were crazy ideas. As it turns out, I guess they were right. I thought about becoming a social worker but when I found out the salary that quickly changed my mind because I knew I wanted to be able to eat. Life events changed me too that there is no way I could deal with all the broken, forgotten, abused and unwanted children. I would want to take them all home. Favorite way to relax: Hang out with my husband -- especially taking a motorcycle ride together. Watch a movie, read, listen to music and pretty much anything with our children. I'm a spontaneous person who doesn't like having to schedule to do something weeks in advance. To me nothing is too short notice unless I have already made plans. The end of August 2011, I went and took the course to get my motorcycle license. I passed and bought a Harley 1200 Nightster. Woo Hoo! Been riding ever since. My inspiration from when I was in high school came about as a result of a social worker who was kind to me and believed in me. Also, a few of the Dover High teachers inspired me especially one who helped me get a job at the end of my junior year which luckily turned into a job to last during my senior year. A story from way back when. I have not ridden a horse since the time (around age 16) Deborah Martin convinced me to go riding with her and some other people on a farm. Don't recall if she knew/knows that while I was trailing everyone, my horse balked, I went forward and slipped off, my foot caught in the stirrup and the horse was content with dragging me through the woods for a while listening to me pleading, begging and cursing it to stop. Second story, around about that same time, age 17, I decided that since I could do all night dance marathons (and loved every minute of them), a skate-a-thon should be a piece of cake. I didn't skate well and didn't own my own skates. After about ten hours I called it quits but after sitting down for awhile, my swollen knees locked up and I couldn't get up or walk. Had to call my boyfriend to come rescue me. Got carried out of the roller rink in front of everyone. Not one of my finer moments... I've lived in Connecticut, Ohio, Virginia briefly and New Jersey. Been back in Delaware since 1988. The one person from my past (relating to high school) who I'd most like to see again is Steven Peer, because he was a good friend and a really, really nice person but, unfortunately, he died not long after graduation. I don't have any obsessions (or at least I don't think I do...lol). I like to watch Dancing with the Stars when it's on, shows like "The Middle; Modern Family and Dead Like Me" and I love to listen to music. I like to watch Mecum Auctions and see all the amazing muscle cars that I'll never afford to own. My biggest surprise in life has been how hard it is to find someone who appreciates my sense of humor or has a sense of humor, isn't difficult because they're so rigid and can be spontaneous about doing things. If you call me and ask me to do something a half an hour from now - I'll do it if I am not already doing something I have to do at that moment. I recently ma...Expand for more
