Wow. At the risk of reopening old wounds, I can’t stop myself from commenting here: what a nice change from forty-five years ago when so many Boston ringers objected to folks from one tower ringing at the other. Who then would have ever thought. It gives one hope for the future in other ways, too, doesn’t it?
