About The Bulletin: Goodbye, for now. The Bolton Hill Bulletin is published monthly except for July and August. It is assembled by Elizabeth Peters, often this year from South Africa, where her job has taken her. Paula Jackson patiently edits and proofreads. This year we’ve been blessed with a plethora of submitted pieces by neighbors. For this June issue we appreciate(among others) Kevin and Sarah Ramirez Cross, Dolph Druckman, Francine Marchese, Justin McArthur, Thecla Meyer, Jim Prost, Sallye Perrin, Lisa Savage and Lee Tawney. Screwups, when they happen, are the responsibility of the editor, Bill Hamilton. Feedback is welcome: bulletin@boltonhillmd.org. See you in September!
