The OFS Board and staff seem to be protecting Jeff's privacy in this matter. The details of the issue -- reasons for termination, attempts at previous solutions, considerations given -- have remained privy only to those involved: Jeff, the board and the appropriate staff. Can anyone other than these individuals speak factually without relying on supposition?

If someone I considered a mentor, who had treated and taught me well, was fired, I would feel frustration and anger. I would offer my support. I would hope that my mentor would say: "I was fired for just cause. And, although I value your personal support, do not hurt the organization out of anger for me" or "This wasn't right. I'm going to fight this. You can support me, but don't hurt the theater." I would expect this from a person of integrity, the only type of person I would ever accept as a mentor. What, if anything, has Jeff said about the reasons for his termination? And what are his actions or reactions?

From what I've seen, multiple issues seem to be intangled here.

1. Personal anger over Jeff's termination
2. The filling of Jeff's position
3. Movie selection
4. Volunteer and theater management

Please clarify for me: is one issue --Jeff's termination -- being used opportunitistically?

I want to understand the atmosphere of OFS, so I have many questions.
