UU Congregation honors couple
Spencer and Jan Johnson, former residents of Andover, will be honored by the Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Andover at the worship service on Sunday, Oct. 22. The Johnsons, who lived on Haggetts Pond Road since 1974, recently moved to Mystic, Conn. leaving what congregation members call "a legacy of volunteer service to the Greater Lawrence community."
