Gene Hatch 1917 ~ 2005 SALT LAKE CITY - Wilda Gene Glasmann Hatch, age 87, passed on June 7th in her home surrounded by family and loving caretakers. When Gene passed on, she left her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren a legacy to share with all Utahns. Gene was a quiet but effective voice for the beautiful Redrock canyons and plateaus of Southern Utah. With her husband, George Hatch, and other conservationists, Gene helped establish Capitol Reef and Canyonlands National Parks, expand the borders of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, add lands to Arches National Park and create Antelope Island State Park. As a young woman, Gene was deeply concerned about the welfare of migrant workers. In 1937 she interrupted her studies at Stanford University to offer assistance to those hit hardest by the depression. An accomplished debater, Gene met her match when she debated young George C. Hatch. In fact, he was her match and their marriage thrived over 60 years. Together, Gene and George lovingly raised a large family and expanded the Glasmann communication business. From 1955 to 1993, Gene was Director and President of the Standard Corporation which included The Ogden Standard Examiner, KUTV television, KALL radio and many other communication businesses. Gene's active career was arrested by the onset of Alzheimer's disease. For 20 years, Gene struggled with the debilitating disease. George, her children and caregivers tenderly cared for her over the long duration of her sickness. The family is grateful for the kindness of Gene's doctor, Dr. Cherie Brunker; the staff of Hospice, longtime friends Bill and Donna Vogel and Gene's many caregivers. We especially thank Rawlin and Marcia Pinkerman, Jean Taylor, Jeanie Eames and Raquel Luz for many hours of kind and expert care. Gene was born November 28, 1917 in Ogden, Utah, to Abraham Lincoln and Edris Alida Toombs Glasmann. She graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Stanford University and received an Honorary Degree, Doctor of Humanities, in 1981 from Weber State University, Ogden, Utah. Her husband is George C. Hatch, and her children are: Michell Arnow, Orlando, FL; Diane Orr, Salt Lake City, UT; Jeffrey (Peggy) Hatch, Salt Lake City, UT; Randall (Ann) Hatch, Salt Lake City, UT; Deepika Avanti (Carlos Ogsbury) Gold Hill, CO; 15 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.

A really new exploration, one that would look to us today the way the world looked to Columbus, it would have to be in an entirely new direction. "Like what?" Like into realms beyond reason.
