Drivers club member Jim Strouf (second
from left) did what no one thought could be done. Many
called him insane when they heard his plan. Yet it was
true, he intended to ring the bell off and on the whole
6 hours. And if that wasn't enough, he was also only
going to take about an hour break to go and watch a
basketball game indoors where it was warm. He managed to
complete his goal to the surprise of most everyone. Many
people that were giving money would ask how long he had
been at his bell-ringing, did he train for the event,
when was his start/finish time, and was he crazy for
thinking to do this. Media liaison, Henderson Darby,
simply answered "Yes, yes he is crazy", and left it at
that. Not to be outdone, T.T. Dan Allemand mentioned the
he (Dan Allemand) did ride for about 5 min. on a bike
and racked up 2.1 miles in the near 7 hours that he was
there. Darby interjected " Oh right, there was that
too."
Lastly, a big THANKS goes out to the notorious BIG HAY for coordinating the people and times for the Salvation Army's Ring The Bell Campaign. |
