Nice record ...Alan,

thats's my grandad!

George R. Brunk gave me my first airplane ride when I was very young. He was having tent meetings in West Liberty, OH. We took off and landed at Grimes Field in Urbana, OH.

What a great story! Thanks for sharing!

Step inside Brisbane’s oldest Anglican Church to study the oldest stained glass windows in Queensland and follow the 14 stations of the cross created by Daphne Mayo. The present All Saints’ Church was designed by Richard George Suter and dedicated by Bishop Tufnell in 1869. All Saints’ Church is a very early example of the Gothic Revival style in ecclesiastic architecture in Brisbane. Distinctive design features include simple lancet windows, buttressed walls, and a hammer-beam roof. There is an important collection of stained-glass windows throughout the church, most of which depict saints. The east end windows are believed to be the oldest stained-glass windows in Queensland to be made in Australia. The bas-relief Stations of the Cross were made by Daphne Mayo and installed in 1935. In the St Francis and Clare outdoor altar at the east end of the building is a bronze and wood sculpture entitled ‘Christ Accepting the Cross’, by Andre Meszaros, erected to celebrate the centenary of All Saints in 1962. An earlier version of the church was designed by noted architect Benjamin Backhouse and built in 1862. Later additions to the church included an adjacent rectory in 1880, a hall/school building in 1884, the pulpit crucifix in 1926, the organ loft in 1957 and the crypt in 2016. The organ was made in London by TC Lewis and was originally installed in St John’s Pro-Cathedral in Queen’s Park in 1873. It was then transferred to St Luke’s Church, Charlotte Street, before it was refurbished and moved to All Saints in 1957. Source: brisbaneopenhouse.com.au/building/all-saints-anglican-chu...
