Tower Bell
The Norman Family Bell
"In many small towns you can hear bells ring on the hour from either churches or town squares. While sitting in the Bridge Tender Inn drinking a beer one day, I thought a bell would sound sweet in the city tower by the pier.
I searched the web and found America's oldest bell maker, McShane Bell Foundry in Glen Burnie, Maryland.
The city gave me the OK to donate the bell and after 6 months in the making we placed it up in the tower.
Now you can hear the rest of the story from 8am to 8pm."
