Just a few quick questions  to Janos Gereben or other knowledgeable MCML
members:

Since when did Jeanne Baxstresser cease to be the NYPO principal flutist?

If my memory is accurate, a few years back a former student of hers,
principal flutist Timothy Hutchins of the Montreal Symphony Orchestra,
created a stir by turning down the offer to become the NYPO principal
flutist.  Instead, he proposed his former teacher for the post.  The NYPO
did switch the offer and Ms.  Baxstresser did accept it.  Where is she now?
