In the April update we forgot to mention that Leah Bolt passed away near Newry PA on April 8th. The Bolt and Newman families have been close since the gospel came to the northeast corner of Maryland in 1936-37. Ed and Leah helped get PG up and running in 2009. Later they came as part-time residents for a few months at a time. Here’s Ed and Leah when leaving in March 2009, and then Leah the last time here in April 2015 with her grandson Travis Bolt. David Bolt, Ed and Leah’s son and Travis’s father, visited PG in May, shown here with his aunt Della Bolt, Elton and Esther.
