Notes

2010-04-04 - Identified through online information from Jeff Scofield. -Database Manager

2011-11-24 - Updated through online information from Richard C Greene. -Database Manager

2018-02-27 - Updated by Sasha Kozachok, who has heard or played the organ. -- Beautiful organ great for hymns and classical music. -Database Manager

2021-04-11 - Updated through online information from Jayson Engquist. -- The organ went in (1926) when church was called St. Luke's Catholic Church. It was only renamed as St. Thomas More Catholic Community in about 2010. Gordon Schulz did work (and additions) in 1990, but isn't mentioned (that I could find). So, the original (Op. 1153) should really be ONLY the original ranks. The other should have Scholz additions. -Jim Stettner
