A TRIO OF PRESIDENTS
By Tony Cupit: Personal reflection on the lives of a trio of Presidents
• David Griffiths, OAM, 17.4.32 – 25.12.20
• Howard Fearn-Wannan, OAM, Nov 1929 – 25.12.20
• Wilf Poole, 20.12.30 – 31.12.20

The denomination and a number of Baptist congregations give thanks to God for the lives of three recently departed Presidents, David Griffiths, Howard Fearn-Wannan and Wilfred Poole. They died within a week or so of each other, Howard and David on Christmas Day, Wilf shortly after. It may be their faith in God and the fact that they each served us as President of the BUV is a thread that ties them together. Otherwise, they are as different as can be. All were outstanding men.
