Subject: Re: DQ Organ -fact or fiction


We'll try again to post this: there was an organ on
board when I started riding in '73 and was there for
several years later, but I never noticed the name. An
unrelated DQ organ story: Back in '76 or '77 Richard
Simonton and family rode a DQ StL-StP cruise as part of
an organ society group. They brought a special
performer, Bob Ralston, of the Lawrence Welk show. The
DQ organ wasn't his brand, so they loaded his on at St.
Louis, no problem. However at the end of the trip, the
society expected the boat crew to haul the big thing up
the stairs at beautiful Lambert Landing and Chief
Steward Henry Mitchell said, NO Way! The organ was
removed when the boat returned to St. Louis
