Transplanted Notes from a duplicate account: Database Manager on October 15, 2008: Identified through on-line information from Stephen Hall. -- Casavant organ built in 1971 for All Saints Lutheran Church in Kansas City, Kansas. In 2001, the church sold its building (with the organ) to True Victory Baptist Church. The Baptists did not use the organ and after five years sold it to First United Methodist. The organ is in regular use for services (Oct. 2008). Information from an article in "The Morning News" of Northwest Arkansas, dated October 9, 2008.
