      <![CDATA[Wade, partly the latter, and partly that the claims made about Maestro Remmereit's  behavior were all too often twisted half truths. A casual conversation about post partum weight  loss (his wife had recently given birth) was later reinterpreted as a demand that a staffer 'lose weight.'

      <![CDATA[Thanks for the article, Mary Anna.<br>
<br>
I have seen stated in this and other articles and have heard second - hand that Remmereit made harsh criticisms of musicians and administrative staff. What I haven't heard addressed at all is whether those criticisms were justified.

      <![CDATA[Mr. There (though that does not appear to be a real name), I agree that my previous comment  in response to Ms. Curtis was a bit snarky, and, in a way, the type of knee-jerk reaction I first condemned. I do not feel comfortable telling you when and for how long I was at the RPO, simply because I fear it may have been in an attempt to "one-up" me, so to speak, or somehow invalidate my assertion that the RPO was a happy place for me. I also don't think it's relevant within the context of this forum, and let me tell you why:<br>
<br>
My initial comment was meant to do nothing more than say something nice about the administration and the people in it that helped my blossoming career, citing my own experiences in no specific detail and claiming no insider-level of expertise.

      <![CDATA[Ms. Matchett, the statements by statements by former board members Kishan Pandya and Gwen Sterns at the Jan. 10 meeting reveal the hostile climate and irregularities in the running of the RPO Board (lack of transparency, lack of order within Board meetings, and arbitrary use of Executive sessions for decision making, etc.). And an important set of stakeholders -- supporters of the RPO who appreciate the improvements that Remmereit has brought -- were completely disregarded.

      <![CDATA[As a former RPO employee and intern, who left before Remmereit began but after he was appointed, I must say that the environment there was always positive, welcoming and collaborative. I cannot personally speak to any discord that occurred after I left, but I can say with a fair amount of certainty that Charlie Owens did not appear to have any leadership issues and seemed to be a perfectly reasonable and professional leader while I was there.<br>
<br>
Boards do not come to such conclusions through knee-jerk reactions.

      <![CDATA[Unfortunately  missing from this sorry saga are any direct public response from either the Board or Remmereit. And yes, yes we all understand that  this is because neither side wants to go on record while these negotiations or discussions or whatever they are between the sides are staggering along.
