| Brooklyn Meets Philadelphia, Monday, January 16, 2006 |
 |
| Once again, the Brooklyn Chapter celebrated the national holiday in honor of Dr. King with a road trip. This year, we went to Philadelphia. We saw two magnificent organs and had a great dinner. First stop, of course, where else?! Wanamaker's, now Lord and Taylor. We found a national landmark organ returning to full strength steadily and surely. |

| Our terrific tour guide, Wally McLean. He's the kind of volunteer any organization, anywhere, would "kill for." Friendly, unflappable (and unstoppable--he'd been hit by a CAR a few days previous), all the right keys on his keyring...thank you, Wally! Thanks too to Sam Whitcraft, assistant curator! |

| Caught in the act! A scholar discourses to a rapt audience.... |

| We had lunch there too, and heard the noontime recital, which concluded with an improv on "We Shall Overcome," to great applause. The store's food and service were all A+. |
