Stanley Knapp Hathaway (July

19, 1924 – October 4, 2005) served as 27th Governor of Wyoming from January 2,

1967 to January 6, 1975, and as United States Secretary of the

Interior under President Gerald Ford

from June to October, 1975. Stanley

K. Hathaway, or "Stan" as he was known to most of his friends and

associates, was born on July 19, 1924, in Osceola,

Nebraska, the fifth of six children born to Robert and Lily Knapp.

Following his mother's death when he was two years old, he was adopted by a

cousin, Velma, and her husband Franklin Earl Hathaway. The couple homesteaded

and farmed near Huntley, Wyoming. Young Hathaway received his

early education near there in one-room country schools at Table Mountain and at

New Fairview, and then attended Huntley High School, where he graduated as

class valedictorian in 1941.After enrolling briefly at the University of Wyoming, Hathaway left

school in early 1942 to enlist in the Army Air Corps following the attack on Pearl Harbor in December, 1941, and was trained

as a radio operator and gunner. He was assigned to the Eighth Air Force's 401st Bomb Group, flying B-17 Bombers from England, and took part

in 35 combat missions over France and Germany, with his unit often suffering

heavy casualties. On one mission under General Jimmy

Doolittle over Leipzig, Hathaway's plane and crew took heavy enemy fire while

making a series of three runs at their target, an oil refinery. After managing

to return to base, the crew counted 115 holes in their B-17 from Nazi

fighter-plane rounds and anti-aircraft flak. During their entire Leipzig

mission under General Doolittle, a total of 56 American planes and more than

500 American troops were lost, and, overall, Hathaway's unit suffered a 50%

casualty rate during World War II.  In the fall of 1944, his crew was on a mission

to Frankfurt, Germany, when their plane was shot down by anti-aircraft fire.

They lost three engines before crash-landing in a field in France, where they

were eventually rescued by the French Resistance. For his service during the

War, Hathaway was the recipient of the French Croix de Guerre,

U.S. Presidential Unit Citations, and five Air Medals.After his discharge from

the Air Corps, Hathaway enrolled at the University of Nebraska, where he earned a

bachelor's degree. He graduated from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln

College of Law in 1950. While there, he met Roberta

"Bobby" Harley, and they were married on November 25, 1948. Following

his graduation from law school, the Hathaways moved to Torrington, Wyoming, where Mrs. Hathaway taught

mainly English at Torrington Junior High School while Hathaway established a

law practice. They had two daughters, Susan and Sandra.
