Don at Haller Lake, c.1970 |
Don has been involved with theatre organs in Seattle seemingly forever. He is a capable organist and technician, having worked for Balcom & Vaughan for many years. He possesses a wealth of knowledge about all things theatre organ and has probably touched almost every Northwest theatre organ at one time or another. |
Don has worked on theatre organs as far North as Juneau, Alaska and all up and down the West coast. In 1979, he and his two brothers helped to prepare the former San Francisco Fox 4/36 Wurlitzer in the La Canada, California home of Frank Lanterman for a jam session following the 1979 ATOS National Convention in Los Angeles.
