Reflection
on Easter memories
By JOHN HATCHER
Religion Columnist
Note:
We were distressed to learn Tuesday that Dr. Hatcher took a fall at
the church Monday night and sustained serious damage to his knee. At
press time Tuesday, he spoke to us from Fayette Community Hospital where
he was awaiting word on surgery, possibly Wednesday. We sincerely wish
him a speedy recovery and are reprinting one of his Easter columns from
a past issue.
