What Lucille said about the flash drive:

I had several bells in my catalog that I could not identify but have been going thru the BTs, with help of the flash drive, and finding not only pictures to identify them but stories about them.    

There are pictures and stories about bells I could never have even imagined, let alone know to ask for on Google!   Learning about bells has certainly made me a more knowledgeable person about many persons, places and things.  Articles by the many people I have read about in the BT have definitely made my life more interesting. 

There are so many intelligent, interesting people in the American Bell Association.  I am truly grateful to have joined.
