Steve Hathaway, age 68, died at his daughter's home in Maine on Dec. 26, after a week of hospice care. Hathaway taught creative writing and American literature at WSU from 1974-2012, where he was a beloved teacher, mentor and friend. At his request, no funeral was held, but plans are to celebrate his life at a Festival of Steve at Ten Apple Farm in Gray, Maine, in early June. Donations in his memory can be made to Wichita State's public radio station KMUW and to Levey Day School in Portland, Maine. For more information, go to http://tenapplefarm.com/.
