31-tet organ in Illinois

Erv Wilson mentioned in a recent letter that a 31-tone/octave pipe organ
with a von Janko-style generalized keyboard was built at St. Mathews
Catholic Church in Champagne-Urbana, IL in 1994. Has anyone in the area
seen or heard it? The contact person at the church is Loretta Oakley.

1.000000000...
