According to a September 28, 2020 email from Ron Krebs of Reuter, -- "Opus 1635 was contracted in March ’67 for Simpson College, Indianola. We removed it in 2011 and had it set up in our lunch room for a while, where it was photographed for the attached sales flyer. . ."

Updated through online information from Jayson Rodovsky Engquist. -- This entry is wrong. Reuter Op. 1635 was originally at SIMPSON COLLEGE (1967) in Indianola, Iowa (not Waverly). It was removed by Reuter and reinstalled/rebuilt for All Saints' Episcopal Church in Northfield, Minnesota. We will update the information on the Organ List (Twin Cities' Chapter AGO). Thanks.
