Opie's great adventure : the little pipe organ that wouldn't give up written by Michelle Phillips, with Barbara & Ron Ritchie, illustrations by KC Kiner Wortman.
The story of Skinner Organ Company Opus 695 ("Opie"), built in 1928 for St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church (Bronx, New York), which survived a 1989 fire. It was sold to St. Mark's Lutheran Church (Marion, Ohio) in late 2010. After cleaning and restoration at J.L. Weiler, Inc. (Chicago, Illinois), which included the rebuilding of fire-damaged pipes by Jerome B. Meyer & Sons (Milwaukee, Wisconsin), the organ was rededicated at St. Mark's in November 2012.
