*Remarks:

   Bells cast and delivered to donor
   Roland A. Perschon, Pewaukee WI, in 1995.
   That town never found or made a home
   for them.  Ground was broken for a
   veterans memorial tower in Nov.2007,
   and fundraising began; but plans
   collapsed by 2011.
   The bells were blessed in Oct.2013
   after transfer to Nashotah House,
   where ground was broken for a new tower
   in 2016; completion was expected in
   2018, but the project was halted for
   various reasons, with only the tower
   foundation laid.
   2021: The bells were re-homed to
   Milwaukee by the donor before his death,
   and plans to hang them in an existing
   tower were being developed.
   2024: No evidence of this project.
