​Dear KZYX Friends and Neighbors:

Hopefully this sad  email below, from departing KZYX Program Director,
Raoul Van Hall, can serve as a wake up call for our KZYX community.

We have work to do to become the model of cooperation and grace that we
have it in us to become and which many of us idealistically came here to be
part of and participate in.

Wishing you all excellent health as we move forward in greater harmony,

Richard
Host, Mind  Body Health & Politics.







Hi Richard,

Thank you for all those kind things you said. It really means a lot.

Ultimately, there were several factors that made me decide to leave.

For the record, it wasn't the volunteers, the staff, the board or the
self-appointed 'community radio police' that drove me away. It was internal
politics.

It was also something else… I basically retired a couple years ago. After
the passing of my girlfriend, I decided to leave Portland and work at one
last radio station for the final chapter of my career.

What I'd hoped for was a gathering of artisans and intellectuals within a
group of volunteers and staff working towards a common goals.
And a radio station that it will was at the hub of a beautiful and peaceful
place.

What I found instead at KZYX was a microcosm of what's wrong with society
in general, nastiness and a lack of civil discourse.  And also a level of
cronyism that was going to prevent me from being effective at my job…or
happy.

While I certainly met some great people at KZYX and in the community, the
growing list of negatives finally made the decision easy.

Since I don't really need to work full-time anymore, it wasn't worth it.

I'll be quite content working from my home studio again.

Thank you for being an open and welcoming person with me while I was there.

I wish you great health and success.
And happiness.

Dear Raoul:

You were the most professional radio person I have encountered at Kzxy in
my 10 years of broadcasting. You brought light to what for me was the
darkest of work sites. I raved about your positive  cooperative attitude.

I am so sorry you have left.

Is it over for sure?

Anything at all I can do to get you to reconsider?

Either way I wish you good health and happiness,

Richard
