Junior and our dog, Tru…his buddy from JM
From an email:
“I wanted to pass along a link regarding the death of an H Street NE icon. Crosby Bolden, Jr. (Aka, Junior) was a homeless man who was known by residents and business owners along H Street. He lived here, primarily around 11th St. NE his entire life. He was a lot of things…and had a few vices, but…he was a friend. He died with dignity at Joseph’s Hospice from a variety of cancers. Alas, he had nothing.
Many of the residents have looked after Junior for years. We would ask that you post this link to GiveForward to help offset the costs of his final expenses. Many of the restaurants and shop keepers along H Street know him, and might be inclined to help one more time if they knew of his plight.
On my porch in the 800 block of 11th St. NE is a Christmas tree that Junior gave us last year. The last thing he told me was that he was coming home to help set it up. Alas, I put it up myself this past weekend in his honor.”
THe GoFundMe page says:
“Lets rally for Junior’s family who needs our support to complete funeral preparations and services this week.
Junior’s friendship, laughter, work and presence will be missed by the residents and business owners along H Street. Your donation will help his niece complete the memorial services for Junior to rest in peace. We will miss you Junior!”
Donate here.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
