Crystal Cathedral

With the Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove, California, being sold to the Catholic Diocese, I looked up one of the first issues of our publication Organist News.  In the olden days, before the internet, we actually printed a real magazine on paper and mailed it out to every church in Washington and Baltimore.  Our Fall, 1981 issue headlined the story about the new Ruffatti/Aeolian Skinner organ that would premier in 1982.  For those that want to take a walk down memory lane, the first few pages of this issue is reproduced here:  pdf organistnews 1981-1

Pages 5,6, and 7 of the same issue are here:  pdf organistnews 1981-2.  We were sponsoring the late Donald Hustad in a series of workshops for church organists and yes, the Record Review on page seven refers to a 33 1/3 LP.  Ah, the good old days.
