Record Bell Ringer
Salvation Army Major Butch Soriano, 46 taking his five minute break to get off his feet and rest during his quest to ring the bell for donations and to set a world record for the longest bell ringing as he is in hour 30 of a goal of 100 hours in front of a Walmart in Colton, Calif. Soriano passed his goal at 1 p.m. Saturday, and kept going. Soriano plans to continue until 11:59 p.m. because the Salvation Army does not allow bell ringers to work on Sundays. Two other bell-ringers in Minnesota and Texas were also trying to reach the 100-hour mark this weekend but it wasn’t immediately clear if they had. (AP Photo/The Press-Enterprise, Terry Pierson)
