      I graduated from the Grant grade school in 1952 and Butte High in 1956. Mid-year of my Senior year I started working at Montana Power going to work at noon every day. After graduation, I went full time for Montana Power for six years in addition to working part-time for my husband doing his books.
      I married Jim Gilman, a self-employed contractor, in 1959. This year Jim celebrated his 50th year in business and he is still going strong working everyday. Still today I continue to work part-time for Jim’s construction business.
      We have two children, LaRae South and Jim Gilman Jr. My daughter has three children two boys and one girl, Trevor 8, Trace 6, and Selby is 4. My son has two daughters, Sarah 6 and Jenna is 2.
      We have a summer home at Canyon Ferry where I spend most of the summer with family, friends and grandchildren. If not at our summer home you will find me out on the job with my husband, Jim.
      In January of 2004, I registered as a member of the Red Hat Society. Upon registration I became Queen Chloe and named our Red Hat group "The-Gal-US-Frame Gals." Our membership took off like wildfire and today we boast a membership of 92, respectively. Isn't it wonderful, "Age has no limits." On February 2004, we celebrated our first gathering at Christina's Cocina Cafe.
      I have been in the Waterford exercise program since 2002 and many of the women participating in the exercise classes joined "The-Gal-US-Frame-Gals. Today we have a dedicated area in the break room where all of our functions are posted and sign-up sheets are available for our planned activities. The Waterford takes no responsibility, and has no connection with our Red Hat group. They offer us the hospitably to get together after workouts and make our plans.
