"I'm not sure why Dick Greenhaus is taking flak on this thread."
He isn't - he appears to be assuming that he is being blamed.

To be fair, throughout the time I have been involved in the music there has been little or no discussion on Kennedy's behaviour for a number of reasons - influential father (friend of royalty) and aunt being not the least of them, and his tendency to threaten to resort to law whenever he thought his position was being threatened running a close second.
Whatever information I gained on his behaviour was passed on in hushed tones behind locked doors - sort of!
I really think there was very little known of his behaviour outside a fairly tight circle of people who chose - for our sins - to do nothing about it
When he died an RIP thread was opened on this forum and when I contributed a few non-complementary points amid all the eulogies, the avalanche of protests that followed left me with the feeling that I had farted in church gradually building until I began to think I might have murdered John Lennon. If my memory serves Dick/GSS, it was you who administered one of the severest kickings.
Kennedy did what he did because we let him get away with it; some were more responsible that others (five letters, starting with E and ending with S), but in truth, those closest to the fire should have put it out before it took hold and did the damage. It seems a bit smug hindsightish to point the finger at somebody who I doubt was aware of these shennanigans.
