Washington Post 01/01/89

January 1, 1989
(L.R) John King, Tony Buttle, ?, Paul Timmel  
Can't seem to find an accompanying article, so here is the image and a note from John.
 

  A nice vignette by John King:

I (John King) am on the left, followed by Tony Buttle, who was attached to the British Embassy in DC for several years and who was a WRS stalwart. My fondest recollection of Tony's North American sojourn was our weekend trip to North Carolina, where we grabbed Hendersonville, then proceeded to Raleigh, where we rang what was, at that time, a Guild record for the fastest peal of the most number of doubles methods on what at the time was the Christ Church five-bell peal. It was May 26, 1991. It was Tony's first doubles as conductor, and we rang it as a birthday compliment to him. My peal records do not say the number of methods/variations, but the number 42 comes to mind. Not too long afterward Don Trumpler rang a greater number of doubles methods in a few less minutes.

The person on Tony's left, I don't have a clue! [Paul Timmel on the right]
