"Thank you very much for your contribution to my campaign for Mayor of Fort Lauderdale. We all worked very hard and we lost what we considered to be a very close race. I will continue to work towards making Fort Lauderdale a better place to live. It is too soon to tell exactly what my next political endeavor will be, however, I will attempt to keep a high profile in order that I may some day pursue public office again."

"It is my pleasure to give a very great recommendation to Mr. Gene Merola. Gene is a top notch comic who is the epidemy of professionalism and a master comedian l His good taste humor , his timing and ability to work an audience is second to none. Gene is a natural that can take a seemly dead audience and bring them to hysterical laughter in a matter of minutes! He has worked for me at our VFW 2007 in West Palm Bch. several times and has always been a great success. We feel that Gene is a true patriot and has always shown a great concern for our veterans. Easy to work and deal with, Gene would be a great addition to your post or clubs entertainment bill. If you have any questions, I am available at any time."
