*Fink, Lawrence (Larry) (TS) Larry
was the originator of "modern" solo ringing and taught advanced ensemble
ringing when most ringers were still using only two bells. He formed
the Fink Family Ringers in 1959. They presented over 150 concerts
during five cross-country tours, teaching all who wanted to learn about
their techniques and music. Larry introduced handbells to the Seattle
World's Fair in 1962, and taught ringing in four junior high schools and
one high school in the Seattle area. He has served on many AGEHR
committees, Bells in Schools Chairman in 1966 (CHIME),
contributed articles on handbells in education in OVERTONES, and
has attended numerous festivals over the years. Larry was awarded
the Honorary Life Membership in 1994. It was a pleasure to see Larry
and other family members in 1997 at the National Directors' Seminar
in Spokane, WA. Larry died in July of 1998, after an extended illness.
