"The Ringing Of The Bell" officially represents the "Opening Ceremonies" of each year's Re_Union. A tradition which began 25 years ago when Brother Richard Farmer presented the bell along with these solemn words.
FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS
Once every year this bell will toll. A dedication to Brothers
who answered the call. To go before us and light the way for us
who'll go later when it comes our day.Loved and missed
though they will be, this bell will toll for them and me.
It was Brother Dick "Mule" Farmer's inspiration that this bell be rang once a year as a way for the Brotherhood to pay tribute to our fallen Brothers.
The bell has given way to a tradition that will remain as long as the Brotherhood remains itself. For this and the spirit it represents, we are eternally grateful.
