Dianne Austin

January 9, 1947 - August 26, 2020

"It's time to say farewell to all of my wonderful staff, students, parents, and the gym I birthed some 40 years ago. I have loved teaching my students, my babies, and my Kips Team.  What a fun ride it was.  I want to thank you (3 generations) for trusting me with your children.  They always want to succeed and learn all they can. I shall never forget you. I take great comfort in Holly knowing that she will continue the traditions of SCG plus adding her own wonderful style. So long!"

The carpenter stretcheth out his rule: he marketh it out with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of man, according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the house. ISAIAH 44:13
