Notes

2010-03-01 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -Database Manager

2011-02-27 - Updated through online information from David Michael Kenney, Sr.. -- The organ sounds especially wonderful if the curtains for the stained glass windows are fully open to reveal the windows. Reverberation time when the room is full of people is about 2 to 2 1/2 seconds. -Database Manager
