Gone But Not Forgotten Word has been received of the passing off Joyce Bennis, daughter of UUCSC's founding members, Pete and Winnie Bennis. She gifted the pulpit lectern to UUCSC, having won it in a fundraiser at Langworthy Library, where she was Children’s Librarian. The lectern was crafted by Charles Robinson from Rockville RI . Condolences may be sent to Winnie's sister, Ruth Fiddes, 411 Leisure Drive, Wakefield, RI 02879.
