Database Manager on May 17th, 2018:

This entry describes a new home for an organ that was relocated without either tonal or mechanical changes. Identified by James R. Stettner, listing this website as a source of information: http://www.pipeorganfoundation.org/news/current_news23.html. According to a July 5, 2017 online News post on the Pipe Organ Foundation website, "He [Norman Miller of Seattle] passed away on July 3, 2015, but before his death, he requested of Carl Dodrill and the Pipe Organ Foundation that his II/8 pipe organ be sold and the money go to AGO and to the Puget Sound Theatre Organ Society for student scholarships. Therefore, the Foundation took possession of the organ, set it up in the Foundation shop, reworked the instrument, sold it to Richard and Anna McPherson, and installed it in the McPherson home in Port Orchard in May and June, 2016. The proceeds were distributed to AGO and to PSTOS for student scholarships, and both organizations responded with sincere thanks for the gifts."
