What wonderful news, Ovidiu! You are truly a bell ambassador to the world! The articles that you post are interesting and informative. Thank you for choosing the American Bell Associations "Bell Talk" Forum as a place to share your research.

Does your Facebook group tell people about the American Bell Association and point then to our website? We would appreciate your help in raising awareness of our organization. I know the Bell Collectors of the British Isles are interested in helping other Europeans form ABA Chapters. That's hard to do if people don't know there is an organization for bell collectors worldwide.

The world map picture you posted is hard to read (I realize you made it as big as you can). What do the words tell us?

I, for one, appreciate all the work you do and share with us!

Many thanks,
Carolyn

Hi Carolyn and thanks for all your appreciations!

Yes, I am connected also with some bell collectors from all Europe (Great Britain, Germany, France, Netherland, Russia and -of course- Romania) and we went to rich ABA and into the future to create an European branch, or to organise events .

My ”Find me a bell” group friends are finding datas and/or pictures about bells from abroad and I add this informations to bells encyclopedia.

Hope to have a better 2011!
