WELCOME TO THE HATCH FAMILY GATHERING BLOG

We have descended from an amazing family that has a story worthy of telling. The purpose of this blog is to provide and avenue to tell that story and easy access for our family to share family history. We can collect and share stories, memories, and photos of our family here. I have provided tabs on the top for individual families to record their own memories or update everyone on their individual families if desired. I also have provided the tabs of Hatch, Miles, Taggart, and Laird for sharing family records according to their lines. Desond Tutu once said, "You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them." I am glad we can remember our family together and honor them, as they are worthy of being honored.

Same vintage








These are some of the old pictures Jane found. One of them is Grandma Hatch, Mary Leona Miles Hatch, in Switzerland in 1958. The others are of the rest of us of various ages in various countries and also in Yellowstone. Bill is standing in front of the Little Mermaid in Copenhagen in 1958. Mom (Beulah), Bill and Jane are on the walk in Yellowstone. Notice the Capris. We called them pedal pushers - they were worn while riding bikes. Jane and Pat are on the donkey. Pat and Sylvia are on the walk in Yellowstone. Val, Sylvia, Jane and Pat are in front of doors to the Forum in Rome Dec. 1955. Bill and Pat are chasing the peacock somewhere in Europe, in 1958.

The pictures taken in Europe in 1958, were taken when we were coming home from Iran on home leave. Grandpa and Grandma Hatch, H. Ray and Mary Leona, met us in Switzerland and then toured Scandinavia with us. It looks winter in Switzerland, but it was in the Spring.
