2015-04-07 - The Golden Gate International Exposition (GGIE) (1939 and 1940), held at San Francisco's Treasure Island, was a World's Fair celebrating, among other things, the city's two newly built bridges. The San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge opened in 1936 and the Golden Gate Bridge in 1937. The exposition opened from February 18, 1939, through October 29, 1939, and from May 25, 1940, through September 29, 1940. -Database Manager

2017-05-07 - In 1946, Wurlitzer removed and crated the organ, then trucked it to Richard Vaughn's newly constructed residence in Los Angeles, California; several additions were made to the original eight ranks. When Vaughn purchased Wurlitzer's Op. 1942, a 5/21 organ in the Paradise Theatre, Chicago, Illinois, the Pacific Exposition Wurlitzer was sold to another enthusiast and removed. -Database Manager
