Bob Trousdale Receives TWO Awards at the ATOS 2012 Convention

On July 2, 2012, during the ATOS 2012 Convention Pre-Glow concert at "The Castle", OCTOS Founding Director, Bob Trousdale was honored with an Award of Special merit for his Lifelong Contributions and Enhancement of the Theatre Pipe Organ.

As owner of the Trousdale Organ Co., Bob developed and installed his electronic relay system in theatre organs throughout the country, thereby enabling them to operate more efficiently and record exact performances by artists.

In response to the award, Bob said "It is an honor to receive this award. Thanks should go to many others who helped each step of the way."

The second award for Bob recognizes his contribution of the organ from his former studio in Santa Ana, along with 1,000's of hours of his time and talent in installing it in its new Fullerton home known as "The Castle."

The organ was heard by those attending the July, 2012 Los Angeles convention Pre-glow. In appreciation, Bill and Dave Trousdale, who grew up with the studio in their back yard, presented Bob with a plaque honoring him.

The Orange County Theatre Organ Society is justly proud to name Bob Trousdale among our Directors as he continues to contribute in so many ways to our operations, for our members and to our future success.

In order to mark this occasion, a plaque has been installed in "The Castle".
