The Unitarian Church on Cass has hired folks to supervise the church for as long as I have been in the Corridor. What gives this group cohesiveness is possibly due to the churches policy of offering living space to it's supers. I'm sure this in itself is a factor for the evolution of this tribe, but without doubt it is mainly due to the extraordinary individuals who have taken up the broom in this establishment. One coherent sub-tribe that springs to mind, is the "Don't Look Now Jug Band," the core of it's members being associated with this tribe.

David Lee says:
Olivier Lavergne lived at the church for about three- four years got his PhD in Chem and moved back to France - played in the jug band

Susan Kramer says:
I interviewed & brought Marianne (Knoll) Angilini in who then met James Knoll. I encourage Marianne to move in because I was the only woman living at the co-op at the time. Wanted to balance out the testosterone.
Not only did I live, work & grow up at the UU but Lowell and I married in the church there too.
