BRATTLEBORO — The Windham Philharmonic announces a first step in taking responsibility for the systems and culture and harm revealed in Mindy Haskins Rogers' article in The Commons.

This is a first and insufficient step.

Zeke (Robert) Hecker has never been a member of Windham Philharmonic, is not welcome to play with the orchestra, and will not participate in any future open-to-the-public rehearsals.

In these troubling times, we often forget to stop and thank, really thank, those who help make each day the best it can be.
