The Heartland Pioneers Bell Ringers this year really had to brave some of the worst elements we have had in a really long time. It was super cold, some snow, rain turning to ice and a north wind that went right through you. The good thing is almost all that signed up to ring did show up. On one or two occasions Bill, Kevin or Darwin filled in for those that couldn't make it. We were able to get pictures of most of the ringers but a couple. Next year we will get a picture of Barb and Lloyd Gray and Dick Maxwell. Darwin always takes the pictures and we are going to get one of him also. The rest of our bell ringers were: Jerry and Betty Golmanavich, Rita Saab and grand-daughter Jayme, Darla Plymale, Darwin Fager, George Parkerson, Bill Peters, Norman Thomas, Kevin Arnold, Joee and Jim Kvetensky, Don and Verneta Dirks, Paul Pickrel and Doug Thomas. Thanks for ringing bells again folks and also helping the Heartland Pioneers to continue a tradition started many, many years ago at the Omaha Works. Thank again to everyone for making this year a huge success again.
