HONOLULU (AP) – The CEO of a nonprofit organization that supports the National Park Service’s operations in Pearl Harbor has been suspended while the group’s board investigates allegations made in an anonymous letter.
Pacific Historic Parks Board of Directors member and spokesman Jim Boersema said Wednesday Ray L’Heureux (La-‘ROO) was placed on paid administrative leave last week.
It wasn’t clear what allegations were made in the letter, which was sent to board members.
“We have an obligation to look into things if somebody writes them. So we’re doing what’s required. And we’ll treat Ray fairly,” Boersema said. Most board members believe L’Heureux has been doing “a pretty good job,” he said.
L’Heureux said he couldn’t comment as it was a personnel issue, even though it involved him.
