Dianne and her husband, Lee, have been avid golfers for many years. When they first relocated to New Bern, they
lived in Greenbrier, while they were building their home in Taberna, one of New Bern's newest golf
communities.

In early 2006, they purchased a small cabin on the Bay River in Pamlico county. The 800 sq. ft. 2BR 1Bath cabin was built in 1962,
and has weathered many storms. They now enjoy some weekend leisure time, and even trying their hand at fishing! With a 17
ft. run-about and crab pots off the dock, entertaining can be very casual and fun!
