A report concerning the December activities of the Chesapeake Chapter of the AGO. The members visited Old St. Paul's Church, to see and hear the newly rebuilt and enlarged Skinner organ. The work was carried out by "the Skinner Organ Co" (was this E. M. Skinner & Son or Aeolian Skinner Co?)
Research has yet to reveal if pipes of the 24yr old Odell were used in the 1916 Skinner & what was repaired and added to the 25 yr old E. M Skinner organ
