combined vertical and horizontal length of approximately 20'. The pipes
were shipped from Kleuker unvoiced. Voicing, regulation, and tuning were
accomplished by Glenn D. White and David P. Dahl of Olympic Organ Builders
who were the U.S. Reps. for Detlef Kleuker. This was the first Kleuker
organ to be installed on the west coast. The organ was dedicated in
worship and recital on October 10, 1965 at 3:00 p.m. by David P. Dahl.
