Anna Tunison

assisted by Carol Benesh

 

Anna is the youngest bell ringer in the tower to-date.  She started when she was 6 years old and is now 8 soon to be 9.  One of the handicaps of starting so young is that she has to do two beginner apprentice sheets as she could not physically reach the other side of the ring of twelve ropes when she was smaller.  She thinks this is because her dad is a Bell Ringer.

 

Anna studies music with Sandra Cosbey and Bill Parr.  Anna likes to play water polo and is coached by Abby Schneider.  Anna is in grade 4 at Ecole Monseiguener de Laval.  Anna is also in grade 2 at the Chinese Alliance school learning Cantonese.

 

Anna has great promise to be a Bell Ringer (in a few more years, though, when she can reach the pedals).
