JAYNE GRIESE learned to ring handbells in 1980 as a counselor at a music camp in Wisconsin.  Since then, the only time she hasn’t been an active ringer was while living in England. Because her whole family rings, they have occasionally done ensemble work together. Jayne currently lives in Barrington and rings with her church choir. With her four kids grown, and in or out of college, she enjoys spending time with her husband, three grandchildren and her horses.
