"Ambassador Haydn Williams and I met at the National
Cemetery in the Netherlands at Margraten. We were introduced to each
other by Mr. Arthur Klingel Jr., the National Commander of AMVETS.
I was installing a system for the AMVETS at the cemetery and Ambassador
Williams was there for the dedication ceremonies of the Carillon on
September 14, 1994. He said that it would be beautiful if we could do
the same for Saipan. I gave Ambassador Williams on of my business cards
and told him that if he would like some information on Carillon Systems
that I would send it to him. After about nine months of negotiations
between Ambassador Williams and Schulmerich Carillons, this system came
to be at American Memorial Park, Saipan. It is amazing what a little
talk over lunch can do. We have now had a dedication of a Carillon on
Saipan on November 11, 1995.
"...AS THESE BELLS RING...HONORED DEAD REST...FREEDOM
LIVES..."
I am the Field Service Engineer for Schulmerich Carillons. I am also
a Veteran and I am retired from the U.S. Air Force.
I wish to thank everyone who helped with the installation of the Carillon
and Tower Bells, especially Brian Strack (American Memorial Park Facility
Manager) who did an outstanding job; much better than what was required".
