Notes

2011-08-08 - Identified through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- When the congregation moved to a new location, the organ was installed in 1990 in a temporary sanctuary in a cramped chamber in the front of the low-ceiling'd acoustically-dry room; replaced by a digital substitute in a much larger room and sold St. Therese R. C. Church, Alhambra, California, in 2002 and merged with their existing Wicks, who also overhauled the organ; it was enlarged to 3/65 and installed under the supervision of D. H. Cable & Associates. -Database Manager
