A retired school teacher/administrator living in Swift Current, Saskatchewan, Dianne Miller holds a B.Ed. and B.A. from the University of Saskatchewan and a Post-Graduate Diploma in Educational Administration, and Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Regina. After a thirty-one-year career in education, she is pursuing a life-long interest in creative writing. Of the nine schools at which she taught, three have been demolished and three repurposed; Dianne is beginning to feel like a prairie grain elevator—soon to be a distant memory.
