Sadly, a family death made it necessary for Ron to resign in 2006 and relocate to Florida. Although his new location made it difficult to be involved with Shriners, he enjoyed many good times with the JF Swartsel Lodge and served in several positions. After a two-year battle with cancer in 2011-2013, he reunited with his former high school sweetheart, Deborah Riddell, the gal with whom he used to flirt on a Kentucky school bus. She’s that wonderful Lady you all know as Debbie Speaks. After a couple of years dating and going back and forth - Florida to Texas, Debbie’s mother needed her back in Texas. In 2016, they packed up and moved to Texas. On February 28, 2017, the anniversary of our reacquainting, Judge Billy Ray Stubblefield of Georgetown said, “Ron, you may now kiss your bride.” In addition to his duties as Oriental Guide, Ron will serve as Parade Marshal, assist the Divan in Fraternal and Hospital Fund Raising, and other assignments. Ron & Debbie look forward to serving the Ladies and Nobles of Ben Hur Shrine. May God Bless each of you. TBD TBD
