respect for the staff

"We have a lot of respect for the staff and we plan to meet with them early next week and discuss their proposal."

"I have the highest respect for the staff of the BRI and especially consider Angel Rodriguez, the current director, to be the most able defender of the Adventist faith in our time."

It's entirely possible I'm doing Mr. Kohler a disservice by saying that, but one of the reasons I spend so much time on Ars is familiarity with and deep respect for the staff.
