Notes

2011-07-11 - Identified through on-line information from Jeff Kaleda. -- From what I've been told, the organ was installed in a small church near Pierre, SD in 1968. My in-laws acquired it in the late 70's or early 80's where it relocated to their house in Rapid City, SD. They moved to a smaller house a few years ago and gave me the organ because they no longer had room for it. It was disassembled somewhat to get it out of their house and into a moving van. All the pipes where placed in a few boxes with newspaper. The footboard was removed and the keyboard was unscrewed from the base and placed on top of the console so the rest of the unit would fit thru the doorway. The boxes of pipes, the original bench, and footboard are in my shed. The rest is stored in my house. -Database Manager
