Children of the Great Depression,Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of saving.They thrived on(喜欢)comparison shopping and would routinely go from store to store,checking prices before making a new purchase.
Through the years,the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camp when their parents couldn’t afford it.“Ish and Arlene never asked if you needed anything,” says their friend Sandy Van Weelden,“They could see things they could do to make you happier,and they would do them.”
Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches had their farmland distributed.It was the Hatches’ wish that their legacy—a legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and cents—should enrich the whole community(社区)and last for generations to come.
Neighbors helping neighbors—that was Ish and Arlene Hatch’s story.(2009·山东,A)
