Katherine Ruth Britton Hatch

Initially, I taught art for a couple of years. Then I went to Europe with John Brunelle and our friend Mike. In (the former) Yugoslavia John was our best man when Mike & I got married! We enjoyed living on Cape Cod and in "the scenic Mt. Washington Valley" in NH. I ended up in Ogunquit, ME where I met husband #2, Dan Hatch. We moved to Nashua, NH where I returned to teaching, after "a 30 year sabbatical." Now retired from teaching, I am enjoying the newest evolution of me: doulamama! As a doula I support expectant mothers and their families as they prepare for baby's birthday, and I'm with them through baby's birth. If you thought the mash potatoes was exciting, you should attend a person's entering this world!

One morning on my way to school I was hit by a car. It was embarrassing. I sat up in the street, and I'm told that I fluffed my hair. I got up and hustled to the school bus (in shock). Now, girls didn't get seats on the Sycaway school bus. We stood. So, I stood from Sycaway to CCHS, where I collapsed into a vacated seat. Someone ran into the nurse's office to report my condition, and she sent out a handsome, upperclassman Big Man on Campus to carry me in to school. :o) I ended up on crutches, and within a couple of years, I also was on his arm at his June Prom! And that's how it's done.
