2009-09-27 - Identified through on-line information from Ray Ahrens. -- Contract indicates 32 Pedal notes -Database Manager
2009-09-28 - Updated through information received via e-mail from Ray Ahrens. -- There isn't a nameplate, on the organ, but the proposal is on stationery from "Casavant Brothers, Ltd." No identifying marks anywhere on the console, and it looks atypical for a Casavant -- resembles a chopped Hammond! One hand-written addition gives the number of pipes with a French word (tuyaux), but the remainder is all in English. -Database Manager
2009-11-04 - Updated through online information from Charles Kennedy. -- I have two corrections to the printed stoplist. On the Great, instead of a 4' Violina, there is a 4' Principal. On the Swell, in addition to the other stops listed, there is a 4' Violina. I would also noted that both the Violin Diapason and Melodia are unenclosed. -Database Manager
2020-01-02 - The factory specification stated "The specification includes a console already delivered to Mr. J. A. Hebert of Detroit, Mich. and which shall be attached to organ." -Database Manager
2021-10-29 - The organ was first installed in a chamber to the left side of the Altar in the chancel. Supposedly moved to its current location in the balcony sometime during the 1970's -Roman Lizak
2021-10-29 - Visited the organ today and everything is in good working order -Roman Lizak
