A local historian, who archived thousands of historical images of the Monterey Bay area, died this past week at his home in Pacific Grove. Copies of many of the pictures of Monterey, Pacific Grove, Salinas and Carmel (and other cities and towns in California)....that Pat Hathaway gathered....hang in businesses, educational institutions, and homes all over the world. Although the exact number in his collection is currently unknown, he had more than 80-thousand images back in 2009, and is believed to have gathered more since then.
