As Related at the re-dedication of the Bell at St. Andrew's on August 8, 2009:
Sally Ludlow relates that Saltaire's straight-laced* Mayor of Saltaire in the 1950's, John Ludlow summoned the St. Andrew's pastor, Rev. Canon Good, to discuss what could be done about the mischievous bell-ringing in the wee hours. It was driving John Ludlow crazy.
"Why, I believe there couldn't be a more beautiful sound in the middle of the night," said the Rev. Canon Good."I love to be awakened that way."
*Straight laced or not, we have enormous respect for ol Mayor Ludlow-- he led us wisely and calmly through the polio epidemic of 1954. See: http://saltaire38.blogspot.com/search?q=New+York+Stock+Exchange
