2009-01-01 - Updated through online information from Mark Funk. -- I helped with the removal of the Casavant Organ. The sanctuary has been remodeled, and the console of the organ was removed and bought by Renaissance Organs of Ann Arbor, Michigan. Some of the original pipework was melted down or reclaimed. Other pipes were to be incorporated into the new Nichols & Simpson organ, which is to be dedicated in February of 2009. -Database Manager

Remaining organ chassis, structures, blower, and console removed by Renaissance Pipe Organ Co., Ann Arbor, for salvage. Some actions re-used elsewhere. Most of console discarded, except keyboards. -Database Manager
