Safe return from Ghana

Barry Bledsoe, brother-in-law of Karen Boone Bledsoe, Class of 1960, has returned safely from Ghana, where he distributed medical supplies and other essentials in the African country.

Jacob and I made it home in one piece, safe and sound. Thank you all for the prayers and thoughts.”

Jacob is their son. They also have a daughter, Savannah.

They arrived with medical supplies and luggage. After all, Barry is with the Marion County Rescue Squad. And he'll be working in a clinic in Ghana.
