This from a man who segregated the H.S. band members on the bus for band trips in Montana in the 1980’s. Girls in front (frosh in front, then soph, juniors, and seniors), chaperones in middle, and boys in back (frosh in the first ‘boy’ rows, soph, jr, sr). I never saw anything odd with him and students during my days, but rumors about a relationship with another teacher did surface. What was he thinking?

He did send letters to students, I know this for a fact, because I was one of the girls that received them. I graduated almost two years ago from RHS, and I know alot of students looked up to him. I feel sorry for his wife. Hopefully an end to all of this will come soon.

I am still shocked. This man was the best teacher I’ve ever had, and most of my high school memories revolve around the music program. He came to my wedding. Groups of us spent time at their home. Many of us traveled to Europe with he and his wife. I hope the allegations are not true… I feel awful for his family. You never imagine something like this will happen in your community, let alone to one of the most influential people of your teenage years.

I, for one, am not surprised. It’s been a few years since I graduated, but I was in his Wind Ensemble for 4 years, and we always made jokes about how strangely he acted towards certain girls. That’s not to say I don’t hope it isn’t true, and I will never be less grateful for what he did for me when I was in his class. If it is true, he will have to pay. That is unacceptable.

I’m dismayed that the man who oversaw my transition from late childhood to adulthood and was responsible for my musical formation could do something like this. I know that recent events have taught us that everyone’s a suspect until proven innocent, but gosh. Mr. Eve was an incredibly eloquent person. The text of the notes just isn’t… him. Either he was set up, or it’s something pathological.

I was in the program when he was allegedly pulling this kind of crap. I truly hope he is found innocent, but in the event he isn’t well, that just makes me extremely sad.

I’m still in total shock. He was my teacher when I was in High School, and a good one at that.

Doesn”t say much for Rich Semler the head honcho.If he spent more time taking care of his schools and less sticking his nose up the political chains you know what, maybe things like this wouldn’t happen.
