Debby's Story
Life
I attended MBK from 1971-1974. I was in the marching band (clarinet). I played on the girl's softball, basketball, and track and field teams all three years. I was on the prom committee my Junior year and was a member of the Future Nurses Association and the Girls Athletic Association.

I was a senior in high school and he was a Junior. He was in my Chemistry class and would fall asleep a lot. My best friend, Joann, would call this to my attention and we'd laugh. He would wake and look sheepish. He became my lab partner. We never dated until the night I graduated and he unexpectedly met me coming off of the football field and asked me out. We dated 7years and were married in 1981. The rest as they say, is history!

ew years of high school and first years of college. I was always helping with costumes and sets for shows. She also played soccer and was on the softball team at MBK. Both sons were in the Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts; both earned Eagle Scout. I became active in scouting through their Cub Scout programs and ended up being part of the Boy Scout Committee and lead many merit badge sessions and provided many services to the Boy Scouts. Both sons also played house league soccer. Our youngest son also played soccer for MBK all three years and was scouted by Richmond Kickers. He chose to continue his education in lieu of playng soccer for a travelling team. Both sons are in a band with their father (Scott Siddons). Scott plays some lead and all rhythm guitar for the group; our oldest son plays drums; the youngest plays keyboards, harmonica, and sings. They sound fabulous!
We also finished raising a friend's daughter from the time she was 14 until she was 19. She is now 30 and engaged to a great guy. They will be married in May 2014; I will officiate their ceremony!
