"I cried last night when I got to pull on the rope and hear the bell ring! What a blessing both Ian and Windy have been, It was a very difficult process to decide who would do the work at the Meeting House. I must say they have delivered on all their promises and they are great people to boot. Such a gift to the town of Ware and the nation!" - Carol Zins, 1799 Ware Meetinghouse
