Gil, Theresa and family moved from Lambertville,Michigan to Prosper, Texas in June of 2007. Gil went to MCCC getting an electronics degree and works for Hewlett Packard. Theresa was born in Wales, UK and moved to the US in 1968. She went to Columbia in Chicago and received a degree in broadcast journalism. She worked in this field for a time as well as in numerous sales positions. In her early years she made the beauty pageant circles and became Miss Illinois State Fair Queen. Today she is primarily a home maker and is looking for a good folk group to fit in with similar to the good old days at Mt .Carmel in Temperance. Theresa sings and plays guitar and does a few gigs now and then at some local establishments. Moving a family with teen age kids is no easy undertaking and we are almost through our first year but still feeling pretty home sick for family and friends. There are many things to like in Texas including the mild winters, economic opportunities, low unemployment, fairly cheap houses, and no state income tax. The property taxes however are another story. The kids are adjusting well to the new school and tell us they do not want to return to Michigan. However, Theresa and I have other plans in about 4 years we hope to return to Lambertville and transfer in my job with HP. Liam is musically inclined and plays numerous instruments including, piano, guitar, trombone, and the tenor drums as well as numerous other percussion instruments. He plays the tenor (quint drums) on the drum line in the marching band. Katie plays volleyball and is also trying her hand at some modeling. She has a contract with DMG (Dallas Modeling Group) but so far no paid work other than apprentice level work such as window modeling at the local mall.

Cindy (Hatcher) Matt is the oldest daughter of (Gilbert) Ron and Marilyn Hatcher. She attended Bedford High School and Grand Valley State University. She married Marshall W. Matt in 1991. Marshall is originally from Iowa but ended up in Michigan after graduating from Notre Dame. He worked for La-Z-Boy Corporate office in Monroe for almost 20 years before venturing into business for himself. He and his brother are the owners of Iowa’s only La-Z-Boy Furniture Gallery and Mattress Gallery by La-Z-Boy in Davenport. We spent 10 years living in Temperance before moving to Bettendorf, Iowa in 2005 to open the store
Cindy and Marshall have two daughters, Samantha (14) and Hannah (12). Both girls are very active with volleyball and enjoy running track. Besides working part-time at the store, Cindy spends a lot of time transporting the girls between practices and sporting events. We have been enjoying the move to Iowa but miss our family and friends back in Michigan. As a family we enjoy anything that takes us outdoors. We like taking our jet skis out on the Mississippi River. It doesn’t compare to the water in Michigan, but we can’t be choosy. We are still exploring the area and always finding something new and interesting.
