Kevin Carroll
The 58th annual Massey Reunion was held in Atlanta, Georgia, this year.
“We had an enjoyable Meet and Greet session at the Ronald Bridges Community Center, in
Union City, Georgia,” said Carrie Robinson of Winston-Salem in a press release. Seventy-five to 80 people attended the reunion, held from June 29 to July 1. The family members came from various cities and states.
Cousin Gilbert Massey of Lexington, N.C. (son of our founder of the Reunion, Mose Massey) was presented a gift for being the oldest member present, 89½ years old.
Cousin Kevin Carroll, an actor who stays in Los Angeles, California, gave the family some encouraging words about the life of an actor and star in Hollywood. His hometown is Saulisbury, N.C. He was featured in an article in Salisbury the magazine in the March 2018 issue. Having had more than 40 roles in TV and film, he also played numerous high-profile theater roles.
His newest project will be on Facebook on July 27. His mother, Ollie Mae, and little nephew Casch also were at the reunion. “His family and those that know him are proud of his accomplishments and wish him the best!” Carrie Robinson said.
On Sunday, July 1, the family worshiped at the Friendship Community Church in Atlanta, where Dr. Donald Earl Bryant is the pastor.
“The morning message was presented by Rev. Chappelle, an associate minister there,” Carrie Robinson said.
The next reunion is planned for Winston-Salem next year.
“To God be the glory for the blessed time we had!” Carrie Robinson said.
