Velma Harman and Dutch Hoggan such a great team!

Velma was born and raised in Granger.  She was the daughter of Grace & David Harman.  In 1919 her mother died of the Flu. Her father then married "Carrie" (Grace's sister who's husband had died 7 yrs before). Together the cousins became brother/sisters  and were all raised in the Harman Home at 4090 South 3600 West.

Everyone loved the Dutchess Bar B-Q. Everyone loved Dutch and Velma!

Dutch and Velma raised chickens. Velma's little brother Pete Harman purchased them for his KFC Harman Cafe.
