I've realized that as the Walker cousins reach new stages in life, there is a bigger need for more frequent communication. What I have decided to do, is try to offer a solution. I've come up with a way for us to have an online bulletin board. This will be a good way for you to either share family information, or to learn something about the concerns of the family. Previously, our family updates have been made by phone and email, but occasionally someone accidentally gets left out of the loop.

Enjoy the pictures. I been restoring this old organ since about the 1st of March off and on. It was manufactured in 1889, 123 years ago. I bought it on Craig's List for $25.00. Put about $75.00 of materials in it and hand made some parts that were broken. I bought the candle holders at a garage sale and also purchased the bench at another garage sale. The Organ is solid walnut. It was already sold before I finished it.

Looks beautiful, John. I didn't know you were still working on
organs/pianos until Mom said you were
repairing one for someone in Goshen.
You do nice work! -June
Thanks, June. This was my first attempt in a long time to take something ready for the dump and restore it to a fine piece of history. Would you like to see a picture of all the pieces laying on a table?
Sure! I can't imagine how you would keep track of all the pieces!
That looks awesome grandpa proud of you that you still got it. Love you and miss you. Hope to see you soon. And grandma.
