First sentence: Ernest M. Skinner, one of the greatest names in early-twentieth century American organbuilding, got his first organ factory job with the Boston builder George Horatio Ryder, who on October 25, 1895, gave the dedicatory recital on the organ I played as a youth in the Unitarian Church in Westborough, Massachusetts.
