The original family organ reposes in the library-music room, as it did in the days when the musical Stutlings devoted one night each week to playing and singing. It's said that Hermanus Stutling would rise early each morning, dress, go to the music room and play six hymns. When the sixth hymn was finished, he expected his breakfast to be ready and on the table. Before it reopens next spring, the house will get a fresh coat of paint and undergo a general sprucing up in anticipation of what promises to be a busy year. The 1992 centenary of Pearl Buck's birth is expected to attract a record crowd of visitors.
Plans also are in the works for the play to be presented in Huntington.
