Notes

2004-10-30 - OCH from Baptist, Moravia, NY. -Database Manager

2005-09-19 - On-line update from Don W. McClure -- Organ relocated to St Andrews, and reinstalled by Gary Loper, Duncanville, TX, in early 1990s. Minor repairs were performed, no tonal revisions, no major restoration (not required). Re-dedication recital by Susan Ferre. -Database Manager

2022-02-14 - 2022-02-14: The church is apparently unwilling to spend the funds needed to repair the organ. From a Facebook post by John Gambill: "Unfortunately, the least expensive repairs to the pipe organ ($4,500 to repair the wind system and reservoir) were voted down..." -Paul R. Marchesano
