      Wednesday's "All Things Considered" contained a story about the 
closing of St. Jon [sic] le Baptiste Church in Lowell, MA and the salvaging 
of various elements from the building.

    I was brought up short by the statement, "A few items cannot be saved, 
such as the massive pipe organ or the ornate ceiling murals."  I suppose the 
word "saved" is open to interpretation, since the building is to be changed 
into condominiums.  Does anyone from the area have details about this organ 
and its disposition--reported to Organ Clearing House, sold to a builder . . 
.?
