Brian T. and Kathy Hill
Brian and Kathy embody the He Said - She Said tradition by disagreeing as much as possible. At least, it may sometimes seem so. In fact, their many differences merely make them a stronger couple.
Brian grew up in Orem, Utah, while Kathy comes from a French-first upbringing in Bathurst, New Brunswick, Canada. Though their different backgrounds, tastes, and personalities sometimes create fireworks between them, they more often add interest and variety to their lives.
Married for over 30 years, Brian and Kathy have three children and six grandchildren.

Canadian Chocolate Reigns Supreme
Kathy HillIn the United States, candy bar makers seem to be more concerned with shelf life, appearance, and cost than they do with flavor and experience. They are content to use a smaller percentage of cocoa butter, chocolate liquor, and quality sweeteners than their Canadian counterparts use. Thus, it isn’t merely subjective to conclude that the Canadian products are superior in quality of taste and texture.
