KidTalk Event a Success

At the 2022 Somewhere Over the Rainbow KidTalk event – to support the Walker Scottish Rite Clinic of Maryville University – Emcee Derrion Henderson, Morning Anchor, WMBF New, Myrtle Beach, S.C., entertained an enthusiastic in-person crowd of 200 people at the Sheraton Westport. Honorary Chairs were Sha Niece and Demetrius Hinton, and Kelli and Nathan Linneman.

John Siscel, Ed.D., was honored with the Les Denney Leadership and Service Award at KidTalk

“I am one of the last original board members of the Walker Scottish Rite Clinic,” said Dr. Siscel. “I was so impressed when Mr. Walker and Mr. Denny talked about creating a program that addressed childhood language disorders. There was nothing like that unique service in our area, and kids who have childhood aphasia or language problems had no place to go. One thing that is certain: good ideas never die. And, one person can make a difference. Here we are, all these years later; one person led to a few and then to many. Kids are now coming back as parents and bringing the next generation.”
