• Dan Beaman studied architecture at Clemson University; before that, he studied Golden Books, as we all should.
• Dan's long career in the design and restoration of sacred spaces brought him to change-ringing via the 1989-1993 restoration of St. Michael's Church following hurricane Hugo.
• We talk about learning to ring, building a band, and planning ringing tours for teenagers.
• Mostly, though, it's talk about towers: their design, their acceptance of bells, and their maintenance.

Thank you, friends.
