There has been much traffic recently concerning Norm Hatch. Various folks have visited him in the Hermitage Senior Living Center in Alexandria, VA. Walt Ford spoke to him recently. We print his remarks below:

Norm has moved to Room 319, in the Hermitage Senior Living Center.
Mailing address:
Major Norm Hatch, USMC (Ret)
Hermitage Senior Living, Northern Virginia
Room 319
5000 Fairbanks Ave.
Alexandria, VA 22311

His wife, Loy, is in a room on the 4th floor, so he may move again, to that floor to be near her. I spoke with him today. He said he really enjoyed the recent visits by Chas and Rosemary and a long talk with Fred.

Susan Stange has been visiting each day and is a Godsend, and his children have also been frequent visitors. Food is adequate and he thinks it will get even better as the staff understand what he likes to eat. He’s been impressed, but he only arrived late yesterday.

Best regards and deep appreciation to all,
Walt
