Jim LeBlanc, 74, is one of the Keepers of the Bell, a club that rings the bell at Paradise Grille in Pass-a-Grille at sunset.
LeBlanc does it because he loves the sense of duty, enjoys the happiness on kids’ faces.
“It’s probably just a lazy man’s way of enjoying the evening,” he jokes.
The bell tradition predates LeBlanc. Learn about it by tapping the link in our bio.
