TYLER — A Tyler man has received a golden bell and has gone in the record books with two other men. Andre Thompson received his award Saturday night for ringing a bell for the Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Drive for 105 hours. Thompson stood at the Walgreens Pharmacy on South Broadway and Reick Road from 11:00am on December 3rd to 8:00pm on December 7th. He took only a five minute break every hour. During that time, contributions totaled just over $14,000. Thompson tied with a bell ringer in California and one in Minnesota for the world record.
