Homepage = UUCT Memorials...

[+] About This Website "UUCT-Memorials..." [more]
This website is created by Tawmess/Thomas Hatfield -- as a modern approach to "UUCT Memorials" .
The "big news" about this website -- is that we can now, easily, add as much as we'd like -- to expand each memorial (as a celebration of creativity).
So, with the permission and help of family members -- we can add family photos and stories, onto our webpage(s) -- for each Memorial! ...Yay!
For any questions about this website, contact <Tawmess@ThatWeLove.com>.
FYI...
This website is "not ready for prime-time" -- since it needs to be placed in some suitable "online arena" -- controlled by UUCT)
Two goals led the design of this website...
Goal #1 = To honor and preserve online, the existing physical "UUCT Memorials" (ie, all the Plaques, etc -- which are now actual structures -- within the main Courtyard, at UUCT.)
Goal #2 = to rely on the superb tool "Google New Sites", to easily create modern websites (ie, displays easily, on both small and large screens -- and easily updated -- by approved people,, with only minimal coaching)
So -- scroll down, all the way to the footer -- then explore all the menus, too -- especially the "Know Someone?" (to report who you remember, etc?)

[+] 76 Memorials, Framed... [more]

Two Wooden Frames...

UUCT has two large weathered wooden frames, each with 6 rows of "name plaques" -- 76 Memorials -- for over 6 generations of UUCT members (born from 1877 - 1975, died from 1952 - 2015 ). These two large frames are mounted outside, tucked away from the sun, on the back wall of the UUCT Sanctuary -- close to the gate of the peaceful UUCT Memorial Garden. (FYI -- Several other small plaques are mounted too, in various spots -- outdoors and indoors).

One Modern Website...

It is to honor the spirit of those two large frames -- ie, the 76 people named there, and the people who helped create those two frames and 70-plus plaques -- all this served, to inspire this new website "UUCT Memorials".

Two Frames, 12 Rows, 76 Memorials...

"Frame #1" -- as a full photo/webpage -- and the 6 webpages, with 6 photos each -- of the plaques located, in order, on each row...

"Frame #2" -- as a full photo/webpage -- and the 6 webpages, with 6 photos each -- of the plaques located, in order, on each row...

[+] "Show Possibility..." [more]

The "big news" about this website -- is that we can now, easily, add as much as we'd like -- to expand each memorial (as a celebration of creativity).

So, with the permission and help of family members -- we can add family photos and stories, onto our webpage(s) -- for each Memorial! ...Yay!

This website is mostly empty, though, for now -- as it awaits a growing project (to gather and post details for each Memorial)...

  • a mostly-empty webpage exists, for each of the 76-plus memorials...

    • mostly empty -- except for a photo, of the bronze plaque -- for that person

    • so much more, is easily possible, for each person -- to create a lively memorial, for the life lived by that UUCT Member

    • even more webpages, too -- easily, can be created and added (as needed, to hold all the information we might gather)

  • However, two Memorials have been expanded, nicely -- with details adding to the celebration of that person -- so, please explore these two Memorials...

[+] Lyle Paulsen, "Creator ..." [more]

Special mention is due to Lyle Paulsen (1919 - 2004) -- who created most of the plaques for the two "UUCT Memorial" frames.

Two Wooden Frames...

showing location of the two mounted "UUCT Memorial Frames".

UUCT has two large weathered wooden frames, each with 6 rows of "name plaques" -- 76 Memorials -- for over 6 generations of UUCT members (born from 1877 - 1975, died from 1952 - 2015 ).

These two large frames are mounted outside, tucked away from the sun, on the back wall of the UUCT Sanctuary (close to the gate of the peaceful UUCT Memorial Garden).

Another easy way to find these two Memorial Frames -- is to just turn right, when leaving the Sanctuary (via the rear door, by the piano.

FYI -- Several other small plaques are mounted too, in various spots, nearby.
