Affectionately known as Ernie, the Rev. Ernest D. Pipes has served Unitarian Universalism in the Pacific Southwest District since 1956, including 35 years in the pulpit at our Santa Monica congregation. Born October 6, 1926, Ernie celebrates his 90th birthday next month. Gracious as always, he has allowed UU Santa Monica to throw him a birthday "High Tea" Saturday, October 22. in Forbes Hall
