       The lengthy and detailed instructions by Whitelegg at the
       end of the specifications also states:  "As this organ was
       originally made possible through the generosity, interest
       and efforts of my intimate friend, the late Guy E. Wiseman,
       and the additions are to be a memorial to his Mother, given
       by his brother Mr. J. E. Wiseman, I desire that you spare
       no pains to make this the finest organ in Kentucky."
