This is the story of a boy who loved pipe organs - "the sound of the soul."
One day the boy saw an article and a picture of a pipe organ built by the students in the technical shop of a school in England. They used a book called "How to Build a Two Manual Pipe Organ" by H.F. Milne.
Dear Stuart,
A few evenings ago, a scotchman went across the TV screen with his bagpipes and I thought of you and the times that you used to do the same in the old Grace church when the organ was being taken down.

This instrument became my property in 1955, and was erected in a music room built for it on my farm home in Kindersley, Saskatchewan, in 1963. In 1979 I moved it to a specially built room added to my house in Victoria, where it is in almost daily use by students and others.
