Gatlin family seeks marker at Assembly of God church
Family members of Larry Gatlin & the Gatlin Brothers Band are working to get a historic marker for the Olney church on Main Street where the Gatlins sang as children. Danny Willingham and his grandmother, Patricia Annette Hobbs, of Olney have been in touch with Larry Gatlin’s manager and state historical commission officials to inquire about memorializing the childhood concerts that Larry, Rudy, Steve, and LaDonna Gatlin sang in the church in the 1950s.
