Hi Dianne, I just wanted to thank you for your courage to write and publish your story. I just finished reading it . And thank you for bringing it to one of our reunions. I was fascinated and troubled by all that you went through. None of us really knew what family or lack thereof we had come from when we came to Wasatch, but we were siblings there together. Heck, we raised each other through our teen years--imagine! I told my sister Marsha (three years younger than me) that you didn't return to Wasatch for your senior year because you hoped to strengthen your family and help that be a healthier situation. Marsha said that I apparently came home from Wasatch with that goal every year--and my family situation was tame compared to yours. Anyway, I rejoice to think of you going on to raise three healthy and successful children and getting your doctorate so you could do university level teaching in music. Way to go! I'm thinking we were both in band my sophomore and your junior year, as I was switching from string bass to tuba, and you were playing bell lyre, yes? And I see that your first name was always misspelled in the yearbook, right? Anyway, I hope to see you at another reunion again. Thank you for your introspective and articulate writing.
Hi Diane, can you enter the discussion about a mini reunion? Carl Atkinson is inspirational about getting us all together, but he needs more help! What about your ideas?
Hi my WA friend all those years ago and my Facebook friend now. Have a great birthday today and stay positive. We are all getting older but we are getting wiser and that is downright wonderful!!
Karol had more determination than anyone I've ever met. Early into our junior year her father was on the brink of losing their ranch (around Vernal) the one Howard Hall mentioned. That ranch was Karol's life, much more than WA was. School started the end of August or around the first of September and by November Karol was back home, running the ranch and keeping up on her studies by correspondence. And she did it--she did it all. She was the best cowgirl ever and I miss her even all these years later. Dianne (Blaino) Hardy.

Life is good and continually getting better. Wasatch Academy was a great teacher for me.
