Our wonderful cousin Iris Carter received a spotlight in her company newsletter! Congrats Cousin Iris on your accomplishments! By the grace of God, she is still here!

Iris Carter Sr. Operator, Global Operations

Years with Grace: 45

Located in Curtis Bay, MD

"We asked Iris about her early experiences at Grace: My personal experience – January 1978, Grace Davison did not have women working in the production plants, only in the K-1 packing room. I became the first Black female, African American to work in the production plant. I was working at Mole Sieves. One day before my probationary period ended, I was terminated (I believe) because the culture wasn’t ready for women to work in the production plant. My co-workers in the Mole Sieves Plant signed a petition to bring me back to work with assistance from leadership! As a result, I was able to return to my employment, and by grace, 45 years later, I am still here.

Barry passed away on December 2, 2020, from complications related to diabetes and was cremated shortly thereafter. For those Hubbard family members who do not remember him, Barry is the ex-husband of Ann (Phyllis) Coles, and the Father of Rudy, (deceased) Reginald, (deceased), and Ryan Coles. Many of us share fond memories of Barry throughout their long union together as husband and wife. One of my favorite memories was getting to ride shotgun in his Gold GTO back in the ’70s. Although Ann and Barry were no longer married at the time of his passing, they remained close to the very end. 

On behalf of the Hubbard Family Circle, we extend our condolences to Barry’s immediate family. Although Barry is gone from this earth, he will not be forgotten. Barry has gone to be with Our Lord and Savior, who has prepared a place for him in GOD’s many mansions.


GOD BLESS!

Hubbard Family,

As the Chair of the Hubbard Family, an executive decision has been made to postpone the 2020 Hubbard Family Reunion until 2021.
 
This decision was made based on the COVID-19 CORONAVIRUS pandemic that is prevalent in our country. We have one family member who has the virus. We have other family members who are having medical issues (including myself). Taking into consideration the common-sense measures that we are already aware of and the severity and cautionary measures that your Local, State and Federal Government has put in place to combat the Coronavirus on a Global Scale and the travel restrictions/directives that have been mandated. In addition, We are sensitive to our family members who have been laid-off and will be getting no pay or limited unemployment pay.
 
All banquet and cookout money WILL be returned/refunded to all family members who have paid for the 2020 Hubbard Family Reunion.  For those who have paid dues, We will honor your dues for 2020 and thank you for your diligence to pay your dues.
  
   Family, please be safe and vigilant to what your State’s guidance, as well as the Federal Government has advised. Keep in prayer our family members, who are on the front line as medical professionals and the EMTs, etc. Let’s keep in contact with our family members!!
 
 
God Bless!!
Linda

Lamonte Hampton
Lamonte Hampton

Lamonte is one of 13 innovators being recognized in the Baltimore Social Innovation Journal. To give a short brief on our Hubbard Family member. When Lamonte was 17, he left Spanish Harlem for the U.S. Marine Corps. For the next four years, Mr. Hampton served in the Philippines, Guam and Japan. Then one day, he was honorably discharged--with zero warning. “ Having no clue how to write a resume or create a budget, no concept of how to access the resources available to him as a veteran. He felt totally lost,” as he recalls.

Lamonte wants to help homeless vets access life-changing services in an RV decked out with wifi, docking stations, a fully stocked kitchen and bathroom, and a lounge where families can visit their loved ones in a safe, comfortable setting instead of meeting on the street.

Look for more of his story in the upcoming issue on behalf of the  
Warnock Foundation, a Non-Profit Organization.

Lamonte, on behalf of the Hubbard Family Circle, We Salute You.
Excellent....Good Job My Brother.
