Rick Mathews | Founding Father
Rick Mathews has been in Texas since 1996. Rick is noted for being an authority on the motion picture palaces of the 1920’s and most especially, the voice of the silent screens; the theatre pipe organs of the day. Rick’s interest in the theatre organ started early in life and by the age of 16 he was the featured house organist at the Denver Fox Theatre. As the theatre’s organ showed signed of needing repairs and adjustments, Rick was tutored into becoming a pipe organ technician. Rick’s day-job is in the commercial air conditioning industry. Rick’s talents has seen him involved in the preservation and restoration of not just the pipe organs but the vintage movie palaces as well. Rick’s talents will be relied upon for the building restoration and renovation projects as well as being the primary driver for the restoration and installation of the 3-manual (keyboard), 17-rank (sets of pipes) Robert-Morton theatre pipe organ in the Museum.
