Bob Vose, our Commission Attorney started working for the commission while in law school <br />back in 1993 for Tom Creighton. Bob had switched law firms in 1999 but came back and became <br />the commission's attorney in 2004 just as we were going through a difficult franchise renewal. <br />His first impressions of Mert were of his unique combination of a calm and even demeanor <br />paired with a razor-sharp wit. Bob didn't come out and say this, but I'm guessing he also <br />respected Mert's total intolerance of corporate excess as we negotiated with the cable company <br />during that first franchise renewal. <br />Bob commented that Mert seems amazingly well preserved for being a man of 107. <br />As a founding member of this Cable Commission, Mert has taken great pride in watching the <br />incredible growth that these 10 cities have taken together. It's incredibly difficult for two cities to <br />partner on anything, but to have ten cities stay together for this long is a testament to the <br />community leaders that create that bond. It's no secret that Mert enjoys technology and could see <br />what the future held and wanted to bring that future to Buffalo and share it with the surrounding <br />communities. We have come such a long way since this commission started! <br />We thank Mert for his service to the Sherburne Wright Cable Commission. <br /> <br />5 <br /> <br />
