I haven't spoken to him in a few years but he lives and teaches in Acworth, GA now. He's the orchestral director at Kennesaw Mtn. HS. Western's music department grew quite a bit while he was there. The marching program, especially. I'm a WCU grad and I was there in the mid-90's when the marching band really started to take off. It got very good, very quickly. Lots of support from the WCU Chancellor's office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he still on staff with SOA? The staff pages have been scrubbed and the only people listed are the BOD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what he was brought in to do and he can start by perma-banning that Maddox guy. Who cares what hall of fame he's in? Big, tough lawyer man. What an absolute jackass. “That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want people to be free to tell us what they think and us to be free to address those thoughts. Silencing them won’t change their minds, it just limits our ability to try to change their minds. I've worked as both a radio news reporter/editor and in PR. The news reporter (and libertarian) in me agrees with you about not suppressing speech. But the PR person in me would want that FB page tightly controlled. LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He claimed SOA members sodomized him with a broom in the 80’s. If this truly happened, it is horrific. If it is not true,making such a false claim is also horrific.

LOL Yes - there are specific ways as an organization you go about dealing w/ bad news. If you want to see it done very well, looks at how Johnson & Johnson dealt with the Tylenol Murders in 1982. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you first think about it, you think pffttt oh it’s howdy. But then after further review, you think why would someone make up that kind of thing happening to them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
