Bruce C Pennington was born in Rugby, ND on September 17, 1947 and died in Washington, DC on August 26, 2003.  He arrived in Washington, DC in the autumn of 1968 to work initially for Liberation News Service.  In Washington, DC he was an early member of the Gay Liberation Front (1970-1974), founding member of the Stonewall Nation Media Collective, producers of the Friends radio program on WGTB-FM and WPFW-FM (1973-1982), of Black and White Men Together-DC, and of the Rainbow History Project (2000-2003).  He served on the Washington, DC Human Rights Commission from 1988 to 1991. Pennington worked professionally as a chef and restaurant manager and a teacher of English.  As one of the first gay men to serve as a foster parent to a gay youth, he gave credibility to the gay foster parenting campaign.</text>
