di96649 Description: Piano at Old Booth Hospital Comment: The organ was positioned in the right front corner of the chapel in 1975-1976, and I believe it was a Hammond Organ. A sermonette was delivered to the nursing students and instructors each morning by Brigadier Lamhe and a hymn was sung. Chapel attendance was mandatory for the hospital's student nurses. I was not only a nursing student at Booth Hospital, but I could also play the organ. Almost every morning while I attended school, I played that organ before and during our chapel service.
