NOTES
This organ was originally built for Sand Point Community Methodist. It was removed there
in 1964 in preparation for a new, III-manual Balcom and Vaughan. The Möller was moved to
Grace Lutheran in Des Moines where it served until 19__ when it was replaced with a new
Allen.

It was acquired by Good Shepherd Lutheran in SeaTac, and was installed by Dr. F. Edward
Ehlers and members of the congregation at the front of the church as a chancel organ. A
used Wicks relay was found and installed to connect the chancel organ to the main console
and organ at the rear of the sanctuary.
