My thoughts on Oprano...

Mike AI · 12-01-2004

First, I want to thank the Oprano family. There would be no Oprano without the fantastic support we have had for you over the years. It is the people who make Oprano the special place it is. I consider myself very lucky to have developed many friendships from Oprano that will continue well beyond business. Like all families we had out share of drama, and disputes, but in the end the family stuck together.

Next, I want to thank my partner Serge. One could not ask for a better partner. While many people do not get past his board persona, it is their loss - Serge is the guy you can count on when the chips are down. More important then being a great partner, Serge has been a dear friend - he is family.

Serge it was a hell of a ride.... Katie and I look foward to spending more personal time with you and Lady Law, traveling, and experiencing all the joys of life. ( including great food, and wine)

Finally, I want to say a word about the new owners. I think there is a perfect mix of old school experience, and youthful energy. Nick is one of the original board Czars. He has a ton of knowledge and experience when it comes to managing boards.

Nick will have a great partner in Gonzo. There is no one that will out work Gonzo. His sense of humor, unique ideas, and execution will compliment Nick perfectly.

I truly beleive the Oprano family, and its advertisers will benefit tremendously from the new owners!

I look forward to watching and participating with the rest of the Oprano family.
