Does anyone on the list know the current status of the Chinqua Penn
Plantation's EM Skinner near Reidsville, NC? I ask this now because as I
hear the home has lost funding, closed to the public and auctioned off many
items from the Penn estate. Is there an external group working on the organ
or is it sitting idle with the rest of the house? Last I heard it was only
partially playable and in need of extensive restoration.

Best,
