Short Bio (from Cincinnati.com, an entertainment blog, written by John Kiesewetter on 2/20/2006):
She's the daughter of Tessa Moore Decker, a 1985 graduate of Madison High School in West Middletown. I talked to Tessa in Charlotte, N.C., where the family has lived since 1990, and this is what she said:
Brook was born in Kettering -- not Middletown, as SI says -- in 1987. The Deckers lived in West Carrollton, and some with her parents in West Middletown, for about a year, then left town. "Middletown is what she remembers," mom says.
Brook's dad, Stephen, is not a doctor. (SI said he "implants pacemakers.") He sells pacemakers, but doesn't install them. Mom is a nurse in Charlotte.
Tessa's parents, Dan and Nancy Moore, now live in Middletown. Her brother, Kelly Moore, lives in West Middletown.
From SI:
Brooklyn is a rabid fan of the North Carolina Tar Heels and the Carolina Panthers. "I hate Duke," she says. "You bleed Carolina Blue when you are a Carolina fan, and Duke is stuffy and uptight." Brooklyn is named for a horse named Brook. "My Mom loved the name," she says. "My Dad liked Brooklyn because it's a longer version of Brook. And they'd never been to New York."
Enjoy!
still...can't wait for this year's SI!
