Lee Conklin Antique Organ Museum in Hanover MI
By Hal Davis

For Steve Sorenson's information, the name he's thinking of is Lee
Conklin.  Lee has been dead for years, but he used to drop out to see
me now and then when I lived in Onondaga, Michigan, from 1956 to 1966.
In fact, three of the organs in the collection were donated by me to
Lee as at that time I had little interest in reed organs but had
several that were taking up room that I needed for my Marr & Colton
pipe organ installation.

The last I knew there was a group of people that made yearly trips
to Hanover to work on the collection.  The one name I remember of that
group is Gary Besteman of Caledonia, MI which is near Grand Rapids.
