Dianne's Story
Life
Chapman College grad 1975, married George Baker that summer, worked as a letter carrier for two years; had 3 kids 1979-1982. We had a player piano restoration business since 1977. Joined the LDS church in 1982; moved to Montana in 1986, George started restoring antique cars. #4 kid born in 1994. Raised chickens for meat and eggs for the family, a couple of steers; kids had rabbits, lambs, dogs, cats, horses; had a big garden for many years. We formed a retail piano business with a partner in 1997 which has really done well. George died of cancer in 1999 I thank God every day we have the business, All About Pianos in Bozeman, MT (also on the Web). 3 oldest kids work in the company. I have one grandson (lovin' it!). Life is beautiful and does go on! Come visit sometime! 5-2-2004

Update 8-11-13
Divorced in 2010, piano business improving as of last year. Kids are now 18-34, no new grandkids! One new daughter-in-law in California. Including my youngest son, I have 4 young men from 18-20 living in my house! So much fun!! Two of them are missionaries from our church, and get transferred in and out frequently. For the last several weeks I have been the driver for our piano moving. It's been educational and lots of fun to spend time working with my son. Inspired a rate increase, to be sure! I have not checked ClassMates for a long time, but may do that more often now. There was a 4.5 year old message that I never replied to, and I sure don't want people to think I'm ignoring them. Life just got busy in other directions! I've lived in Montana for 27 years - God's Country, for sure.
