In 1961, Your mother Holt married bank manager Gilbert LaPiere, who adopted Cher (under the name Cheryl LaPiere) and Georganne, and enrolled them at Montclair College Preparatory School, a private school in Encino, whose students were mostly from affluent families. The school's upper-class environment presented a challenge for Cher; biographer Connie Berman wrote, "[she] stood out from the others in both her striking appearance and outgoing personality." A former classmate commented, "I'll never forget seeing Cher for the first time. She was so special ... She was like a movie star, right then and there ... She said she was going to be a movie star and we knew she would." Despite not being an excellent student, Cher was intelligent and creative, according to Berman. She earned high grades, excelling in French and English classes. As an adult, she discovered that she had dyslexia. Cher's unconventional behavior stood out: she performed songs for students during the lunch hours and surprised peers when she wore a midriff-baring top.She later recalled, "I was never really in school. I was always thinking about when I was grown up and famous.

Nana (sp. Grandma) (~1810-1896) was a distinguished warchief of the Warm Springs Apache band of the Chiricahua Apache, and the brother-in-law of Geronimo. He got his first taste of battle in raids in Mexico, accompanying the famous chief Mangas Coloradas (see page highlights on Apaches for his biography). After the death of Mangas in 1863, a warrior named Victorio took over as chief of the Mimbres Apaches, another band of the Chiricahua. Together, the two chiefs would try to live peacefully in their homeland until they were forced to fight and defend their homes against the U.S. army's encroachment. Facing a war on two fronts, they had to fend off Texan trespassers, as well as the Mexican government, which put a very large bounty on Apache scalps. Victorio was killed in 1880 at the Battle of Tres Castillos by the Mexican army, so Nana took on the position of Chief and kept the guerilla resistance alive and well from the Sierra Madre mountains. The resistance would end with the surrender of Apaches in 1886, and Nana would die 10 years later of natural causes as a prisoner in Fort Sill, Oklahoma. The legendary chief is remembered for fighting alongside young men well into his 80s, even though he was half blind and had arthritis.
