Dissenting Opinion by
Judge Mencer:
I respectfully dissent. Tbe Unemployment Compensation Board of Review (Board) is tbe factfinder. Here, tbe Board has not made necessary findings relative to tbe claimant’s alleged efforts to procure a babysitter for ber children. We have held that tbe Board’s failure to make necessary findings of fact to resolve tbe issue of good cause requires a- remand. Hughes v. Unemployment Compensation Board of Review, 40 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 422, 397 A.2d 494 (1979); Kindrew v. Unemployment Compensation Board of Review, 37 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 9, 388 A.2d 801 (1978).
Hence, I would remand to tbe Board and not conclude, as does tbe majority, that ber conduct “convinces us that there was ‘good cause’ for ber actions.”
