An Amazing Achievement!

Alicia Hatch, Esquire

Last week, Alicia Hatch achieved a huge milestone.  She graduated from Seattle University with a law degree.  She has labored part-time on the degree over the space of the past few years while working full-time, having and being the mother of two very active young boys with another baby boy on the way, moving from a downtown condominium to a house in Washington Park and then later to another one in Broadmoor, switching jobs, teaching classes in church, and frequently traveling for business and pleasure in Asia, Europe,and the United States.  Whew!

Following the commencement ceremony, husband, Michael Hatch, hosted a luncheon for family and close friends at The Ruins in Seattle in celebration of the big day.  Ken and I were there along with Katie & Kevin Laramore.  Alicia's mother-in-law, Marsha Ingham and sister-in-law, Elizabeth Hatch, had both flown in for the celebration.  Also joining the celebrants were Cheryl & Kevin Cooney, Jeannette & Jim Stewart, Eliza & Chris Coburn, Andrea & James Roberts, and Dave Hanley.  Sons Jackson and Spencer, enjoyed roaming throughout The Ruins with a mob of children following them including Cutter Laramore (attempting to be one of the big boys) and Lauren Coburn, who is a mini-me replica of her mom, Eliza Flug-Coburn.
