Jacqueline Dundas is third generation Montanan, but more notably, her family ties to Rocky Mountain College run thick. Jacquee's grandfather was a co-founder of Billings Polytechnic Institute, RMC's parent institution; her father graduated from BPI; and she received her bachelor of arts from RMC (with her master's from MSU-Billings). Jacquee's son, Ian, also graduated from RMC, making him the fourth generation of Eatons at Rocky Mountain College.
Jacquee's teaching focuses on freshman writing and critical reading. In addition, she presently serves her colleagues as the division chair of humanities and fine arts, and director of the RMC Freshman Experience, a unique curriculum that promotes team teaching and a community learning environment for freshmen.
Raised in the Beartooth Mountains, Jacquee once accompanied her father on a month long horse pack trip through the back country of Yellowstone Park where moose or bear frightened the horses out of camp on a nightly basis. Her job was to ride the ‘stake' horse up the trails every morning looking for the missing horses and herd them back to camp. At the first sight and smell of buffalo, Jacquee's horse snorted, bolted, and bucked her off in a beautiful meadow of wildflowers. In addition, the six "head and tailed" back horses Jacquee was leading stampeded back into the trees with the contents of their panyards bouncing everywhere. It took the rest of the day to salvage the equipment and catch the horses. She still has horses in her life as she shows her American Quarter Horse, One O Six In the Shade in the Select Division at national AQHA shows. Jacquee and her husband Don have one son, Ian, two cats. Paco and Myrtle, and two dogs, Boone and Laddie.
