About the host
Hosted by Sandy Karnes
This home is a 4th generation family home. Our children have been born and raised in the area, and all graduated from Gardiner schools. I moved to Gardiner, from Northern Idaho, met and married Joe in 1982 (deceased). We raised 3 boys. We are a very family and friend-oriented family. We have supported the town and school of Gardiner with a lot of pride of the area. All our boys have been in 4-h, showing horses, sheep and beef. I worked for Yellowstone Natl. Park for 14 years but then moved to Great Falls MT. and worked at Malstrom Airforce base in Great Falls, MT. until retirement as a motor vehicle and equipment operator. I like to meet new people and like to make new friends.
