Many of you who live in the Portland metro area have heard the terrible news that our retiring bassoonist, Robert Naglee’s, grandson Michael was mauled and killed by a family dog, on the eve of his first birthday. It is the kind of news that leaves one speechless, and in mute horror.
All of us in the Oregon Symphony family send our deepest condolences for the Naglee family’s tragic loss, and wish them all the best.
