A news article about the dedication of the bells has photos of them.

   This page was built on 21-Oct-12 (not from the database) and last revised on 21-Oct-12.
The city name is shown in mixed case at the top of this page and in all referring indexes because this site, having only 6 bells, does not have an entry in the database which supports all other site data pages.
