Our
President's Story |

A
presentation based on our Society President, Rev. Fred Pennington's
autobiography, 'From Ploughboy to Priest', up-dated and illustrated
with photographs. Alas, since the committee organised the programme,
Fed has reluctantly had to give up his own home here in Hartland,
just prior to his 94th birthday, and is now living with his family.
We are sincerely hoping he will still be able to come and join
us from time to time. |
