Notes

2010-10-04 - Identified through online information from Chad Boorsma. -- The organ was expanded by Wicks in 1928; the work included a new detached console and five new ranks. The organ was rebuilt again in the 1960's by Bernard Bolt and changed to solid state in the late 1990's by Bill Swem with parts supplied by Wicks. -Database Manager
