In the News!
Susan Reim
Former New Ulmite, Susan Reim, has spearheaded a $10,000 campaign to restore the Aeolian-Skinner pipe organ at First Presbyterian Church of Caro, Michigan. In addition to soliciting donations from the congregation and financial benefactors from the Great Lakes Bay Region, she has organized two benefit concerts. Reim and other local musicians performed in the October concert. In November Nicholas Schmelter, former organist and Director of Music at Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Mankato, performed a solo concert of organ music. Reim utilized skills from her favorite hobby of sewing to create 50 toddler size polar fleece sweatshirts and 25 little polar fleece hats to sell at her church’s bazaar in October. All proceeds were donated to the organ restoration fund which has exceeded its goal. The excess is being set aside in a fund for future work which will be needed within ten years to keep this fine organ making a joyful noise for the next hundred years.
Work was begun on Aeolian-Skinner Opus 1166 in 1948. The organ was completed in 1952. It replaced the original 1903 Hook and Hastings tracker organ. It is a two manual, 27 rank organ with 24 stops, electro-pneumatic action, and 1620 pipes. All the speaking pipes are located behind a screen. The visible zinc pipes are from the old organ. The church owes a debt of gratitude to Frank B. Campbell who was the organist from 1914 to 1978. Frank spent several years studying and planning the organ in collaboration with G. Donald Harrison, president of the Aeolian-Skinner Organ Company, and Robert Noehren, organist of the University of Michigan. This American classic organ is currently in an unaltered state from the original. It has been used on a weekly basis since its installation. Due to its age, some important parts are beginning to wear out. The wind pressure regulators need a lot of attention right now and the leathers have to be replaced.
Current organist, Susan Reim, has served the church since July 1979. Prior to this she served three churches over a ten year period in Atlanta, GA while also pursuing a career as a cellist with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. Reim is a member of the Saginaw Valley Chapter of the American Guild of Organists.
