December 1, 2008 Organ enthusiasts celebrate a decade at PLU Heading east of campus off 121st Street Southeast, one travels back in time in both feel and vocation. Ramblers from the 60s are replaced by farm houses from the turn of the century. The traffic hum falls away. Cows poke up their heads from rolling pastureland as a car drives by. One comes upon an elegant wood-crafted building that looks like it belongs on the Lord of the Rings set. The front door rises 20 feet and peaks out with a
