When Mom was a junior in high school, Grandma married Witt Thoma, and they moved to Bozeman. During high school, Mom enjoyed playing in the band. During the summer while attending MSU, Mom worked in Yellowstone Park at Old Faith- ful Inn. She forged close friendships, and these girls remained in contact until they were in their 80’s! While attending MSU, Mom caught the eye of a certain young cowboy. Through her friends, he had to know the answer to a very important question – “Do you like horses?” This began the story of our Mom & Dad – they were married on Sept. 14, 1948 in Glendive.
