Pepe le Pew |
A blog appeared, the day after the fire, with mournful comments from 103 contributors. Jim Johnston, our old friend and neighbor from the Arlington Ward, had this to say:
In 2002, when Richard and Valerie Anderson moved from Arlington to Utah after decades as members of the Cambridge Ward and several other wards in eastern Massachusetts, they bequeathed to us an original pew from the Longfellow Park Chapel. They had been the stewards of this surplus bench since the chapel was remodelled some years ago. Their nickname for it was Pepe Le Pew. We still have the bench and now cherish it in a new way. If you would like to see it and sit in it, let me know by email. |
This shot, from Christmastide, 1990, remains as the nearest thing we have to a suitable image of Pepe. He had become surplus when Salt Lake decreed that meetinghouses no longer have soundproofed cry-rooms for parental worshipers to retreat into, there to abuse disruptive young ’uns. |
