Beginnings....
Donna Richmond
the creator of BulletinGold grew up on a farm near Cameron, West Virginia. She attended Ohio Valley College
in Parkersburg, West Virginia; Abilene Christian University, Abilene Texas; and received a Bachelor's Degree in secondary education and English and a
Master's Degree in Special Education from Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, Texas. She
began the work of
BulletinGold
while working as church secretary for the
Lincoln and Tunnell congregation in Santa
Maria where she served for over 15 years.
Since
that time, her heart has been torn by tragedy many times over. She lost her young husband and 22
month old child in a tragic accident in 1974 and she lost her second
husband in 2001. In spite of her grief and personal tragedy she
continued to edit this work while going back to school and changing to a
full time job to help support her children Michael and Jeremy. Her persistent love for the church and her Lord has endeared her to many of her readers and
friends all over the world.
As BulletinGold entered it's
fifth year it was also the year of new beginnings for Donna. She
sold her house and moved during the summer of 2005 to Texas where she
and her son Jeremy began attending college together as students.

New Beginnings....
With the April 2005
edition of BulletinGold, Donna handed the work over to David
Bragg and Ed Thomason. Ed had been Donna's webmaster for a number of
years, helping her put the wonderful articles into the archives of this
website. He suggested that David Bragg would make an excellent editor
and David has come thru doing an excellent job.
David
Bragg is a graduate of Freed-Hardeman
University and preached for nearly 18 years at the Cape Girardeau MO
congregation as their full time minister. David and his wife Anne have
two children. David retired in 2004 from his responsibilities as a full
time minister and now works and worships with the Jackson MO Church of
Christ. David has MS and is limited in his ability to be as mobile as he
would like to be, but navigates the key board of his computer and is
doing an excellent job at editing BulletinGold. He writes many of
the articles and offers his wisdom and insight to the task. Your
encouragement means very much to David as he continues to find ways that
he can serve the Lord in His kingdom.
Friends of BulletinGold
are blessed to have David as the editor.
You can contact David at: editor@bulletingold.com
Ed
Thomason, also a graduate of
Freed-Hardeman University continues to work behind the scenes as
co-editor with David (but in a limited capacity). He is still webmaster
of this site and Webmaster of www.preachtoday.com
and www.churchofchristwebs.com
Ed is also the local minister for the New Madrid Church of Christ where
he and his wife Linda have worked for the last 20 years. They have 2
daughters and 3 grandchildren.
