#^^^^& Hathaway of Martha's Vineyard
I have been informed that Mr. Hathaway passed away today.
He was a legend in my mind, and my schoolboy hero long before I ever met him. I was riding my bicycle beach fishing in NJ, while he was on the front cover of SWS repeatedly, for winning the Bass Derbies.
I came out to M.V. a college summer of 1966 to work construction for Grant Bros. in Edgartown. Jean Hathaway was the company secretary. #^^^^& Hathaway was good to me, BUT not right away: Protecting your "turf" and hard won knowledge were considered privileged, and to be earned.
