Notes

2014-07-04 - The organ was originally a 3-rank Wicks from a Lutheran Church in Pennsylvania. In 1996, it was completely redone by Hagerstown Organ Company for installation in a private residence. The reed stop was redone by Trivo at this time. Lauck further redid the organ in preparation for its installation at Aquinas in 2012. In 2013, a Schantz console was installed by Lauck (console was originally from Parkland Presbyterian Church in Flint, Michigan, and was owned and stored in a barn most recently by Fenton UMC in Fenton, Michigan). The organ is in memory of Genevieve Meitz. -Database Manager

2015-04-18 - Updated through online information from Barbara Witham McCargar. -- The organ console, not the entire organ, is dedicated to the memory of Genevieve Meitz. -Database Manager
