New Organ/Cathedral, Madison WI
-
Just saw a delightful bit of news. Now that St. Bernard's Church in Madison has been designated as the new cathedral, succeeding the fire-destroyed St. Raphael's, a century-old E. M. Skinner of nearly 50 ranks is being refurbished by Quimby for installation soon. Forgive me for saying "yee-hah"!!!
Gaudete in Domino Semper! -
It is indeed delightful news.

Well, they’ve certainly done their time in limbo for umpteen years, so they deserve it.
