Monday - visit St. Johns Anglican, Lunenburg, which burned on Halloween 2001. Peter Allen, chimer has taken over the restoration of the chimes and chimestand. In a most amazing display, he has created mechanical drawings of the chimestand from pictures and ashes. The cracked tenor and nine others are sitting at a local foundry, waiting to go to Meeks and Watson for tenor recasting and others to be tuned. The church has been covered and enclosed by canvas, stretched in various widths up, over and down shaped metal pipes. Never seen anything like it. P.Allen@ns.sympatico.ca Copy of dedication program is at NYS Museum, Albany, NY, box 12-1 F5, dedicated by F P Lotz.
Your input: AllChimes is meant to be a living, breathing, learning resource for chimers and chime custodians. Your input on the results and my conclusions and comments on this incomplete, somewhat successful trip is invited.
