Winter had a hold on Utica, Montana this January day as Jeanne Hardcastle inserted a key into the door of her bar and grill. The key didn’t want to turn, and when it did, she had to tug to open the door. Typical of below zero weather.

Hurry up, Jeanne, its damn cold out here! Carol Ward said as she followed on Jeanne’s heels into the restaurant. The women were a team, unbroken for the last seven years. Carol, 30 years old and very attractive, was the hostess and cashier, while Jeanne, in her late 50’s, waited tables and supervised the kitchen. Her pleasant appearance and engaging personality won over locals who soon became regulars.
