A year ago, Dave Fuss and his wife,Cerrie,lost their jobs… Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift——$7,000,a legacy (遗产) from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch, Dave hadn’t expected  that the Hatches would leave him or Gerrie anything but memories after they died. But the Fusses weren't the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive unexpected gifts from the Hatches.

Neighbors helping neighbors-that was Ish and Arlene Hatch's story.

After their marriage, Ish and Arlene moved to Lowell. There they lived in the farmhouse. Ish farmed the surrounding 300 acres, while Arlene taught English and math at the junior high school. For years after he retired from cattle farm in Lowell,he spent time with friends talking  about world events or the price of grain, but often they talked about their town-about  poor families trying to pay medical bills, pay for college. At sundown, Ish would walk back home, full of neighborhood news for his wife.

Through the years, the Hatches discreetly paid for local children to attend summer camp when their parents couldn't afford it, and they made certain no child went without warm clothing when winter came to the farmlands south of the Grand River.

Several years ago, somebody planted a sign in front of the old farmhouse that read "Honk If You Wish Ish Hatch a Happy 90th Birthday." So many passing cars blew their horns that for three nights, Ish and Arlene had a hard time sleeping.

The story of Ish and Arlene Hatch-memories of the Depression, service in the war, hard work, and frugal living-seemed much the same as the stories of millions of other Americans of their generation.
