 It was also there that he met Betty Kotter, also serving as a missionary in the mission, who he later married.They were actually married at the flagpole on the Hill Cumorah on July 16, 1940, just before a production of the Hill Cumorah Pageant, and about a year after Hansen had finished his mission.Harold would later claim this was where he and Betty first met, but she claimed the story he told of their first encounter was largely made up.
