Family members traveled from Allen, Texas; Norfolk and Richmond, Va.; Ft. Wayne, Ind.; Edenton, N.C., Philadelphia, and several parts of Maryland, including Salisbury and Laurel to share in the festivities of the 48th Hathaway family’s three-day reunion, Aug.1-3 at the Radisson Cross Keys. The underlying theme has remained “Faith, Family and Finances” which was drilled into them by their grandparents, the Rev. Anthony and Elizabeth Hathaway Sr., according to the Rev. Milton Hathaway, the family spokesman. Tassie Monroe, family matriarch, traveled from Edgerton, N.C. to fellowship with the five generations represented at the reunion. “There are medical doctors,
Fourth generation family members are Kyle and Kolby Setzer Front row, Maryclaire, Michael and Gloria Lane
car dealership entrepreneurs, ministers, engineers and college professors represented throughout our family tree,” said Rev. Milton Hathaway. “We are holding true to the theme of “Faith, Family and Finances.” Upon arrival, the Hathaways had a “meet and greet” crab feast. On Saturday, after members explored the sites of Baltimore, they returned to a sit down banquet and reacquainted themselves with each other while dancing into the wee hours of the morning. Then there was church on Sunday at Union Baptist Church where the Rev. Dr. Alvin Hathaway Sr. is senior pastor, and Rev. Milton Hathaway delivered the sermon. Before departing, the culminating activity included each family giving an update of personal news for the year.
