On Tuesday we were heartbroken to hear of the passing of our friend Linda Bolls. For many years with Bob McKee, and then with myself, Sean Kernan, Linda was a regular guest on WKEI. She represented the Kewanee Salvation Army on WKEI and was among those helping to promote the Angel Tree. She stepped away from the Salvation Army several years ago and helped get Eddie Tolliver into the position as her replacement. But retirement did not slow Linda Bolls down as she threw herself into volunteering. Her work as a volunteer in the community earned her statewide recognition after she was nominated for an award by Etta LaFlore and was honored by the governor. In what may have been her final appearance on WKEI, we talked to Linda alongside Etta LaFlora about her volunteer work and being honored by the state of Illinois. Thank you Linda Bolls for all you did for this community, you will never be forgotten.
