According to published reports, AMI friend Pat O'Brien is apparently headed out of rehab and back to his syndicated "The Insider."
As we blogged earlier this year, Pat's had his challenges, but he is one hell of a guy, as evidenced by our October 2007 AMI "Monthly Mustache Interview" (pan down to the interview once you hit the page).
Pat clearly has a terrific sense of humor, a great 'stache, and he has been very, very giving of his time and assistance to AMI. He's no Dave Navarro, who continues to be in the running for the United Knucklehead Convention's much-coveted "Knuckleheaded Midget of the Year" award.
About afroman
The name “Abe Froman” is most commonly recognized as the ubiquitous and unseen character who’s identity is briefly assumed by actor Matthew Broderick in the film “Ferris Beuller’s Day Off.” However, Abraham Froman is much more.
Dr. Froman, a Capricorn, began his career with AMI as an intern, and after receiving his certification in nuclear mustacheology in 2006, transitioned his role into the organization’s Director of Logistical Intelligence, focusing on research, government relations, intelligence gathering, grass roots advocacy, and song writing.
On October 25, 2008, he will ascend to the role of Chief Executive Officer.
“I am honored to assume the chair held by Drs. Snor and Perlut previously,” Froman said. “The Mustached American people need leadership, and I pledge that AMI, under my stewardship, will continue to provide it at a time when it is so desperately needed.”
Dr. Froman has said that his future goals for AMI are to create satellite campus’s overseas and to develop an annual event, to be known as "The Million Mustache March," each year in St. Louis, concluding under the world’s largest mustache – St. Louis’ Gateway Arch.
Froman formerly lived in the Chicago area where he ran a museum dedicated to the "Karate Kid" series of films starring the indefatigable Pat Morita.
As Abe likes to say, "One can never tire of Pat Morita."
Dr. Froman is also a periodic contributor to joesportsfan.com.
