Welcome. Our Mom was born and raised in Florida and, at the age of 17 moved to a tiny little town in western Montana called Heron. It was during WWII and after graduation -- with a 6 week teaching course at the "teacher's college" in Dillon -- she became a teacher. She taught in one room school houses in Heron and surrounding areas for 3 years before going to the U of Montana. I know it was cold and have seen pictures of the snow, but all our lives all we heard was how much she loved those years in Montana and wished she could return someday. I don't think I am as tough as she was!
