Return To Salt Lake
In the summer of 1937 Schreiner took up the position of organist at the LDS Chapel in Washington DC which had been vacant since the death the previous March of his one time fellow Salt Lake Tabernacle Organist, Edward P. Kimball.
In the summer of 1938 Schreiner met with President Heber J. Grant and they decided he should return to Salt Lake City on a permanent basis as soon as possible. Schreiner had already signed another one year contract with UCLA, but that would be his last year with that institution.
From that time until 1977 Schreiner was closely involved with the Tabernacle Choir both at home and abroad. In the late 1940s Schreiner was involved in a major rebuild of the Tabernacle Organ.

—Lu Yu (d. 804)
