2014-07-04 - Updated through online information from Richard Ditewig. -- Dennis Northway informed me that in July, 2014 this organ will be removed from St. Richard's and taken to a church in the South, where it will be regularly used. That is all that is known as of July, 3, 2014 -Database Manager
2015-03-05 - Updated through online information from Jim Thompson. -- Relocated to Holy Spirit Lutheran Church, Charleston, South Carolina by John-Paul Buzard in 2015. -Database Manager
2016-11-11 - Robert Noehren played two identical dedicatory recitals on the afternoon and evening of December 29, 1963. He would return to make a recording of the music of François Couperin on this organ. -Database Manager
2018-12-20 - Updated by John McCraney, naming this as the source of information: Charles Callahan\'s AEOLIAN SKINNER REMEMBERED: A HISTORY IN LETTERS, pp. 239-242, has correspondence from the rector expressing disappointment in a preliminary stop list submitted by Aeolian-Skinner and a detailed reply to the rector\'s letter. One wonders whether the pre-proposal is extant somewhere. Apparently the Noehren organ was a \'consolation\' installation.. <br> <br> -Database Manager
