William T. Van Pelt, via Facebook, Nov 22, 2021 Alan Laufman and I disassembled, packed, and removed it from the Franciscan monastery in Bettendorf, Iowa, in January, 1982, and drove it in a Ryder truck (Alan's favorite rental truck brand) to the church in Vancouver, Washington, and installed it, there. We continued to Tacoma for photographing and gathering information on the organs to be visited during the 1982 OHS Convention in the Pacific Northwest, housed by David Dahl. Randy completed the work on the Moline; Randy was also chairman of the 1982 OHS Convention Committee.
