Editor,
The April 19 guest perspective “A great friend of our entire community” by Joe Cotchett spoke of Gene Mullin and all he accomplished and had given to the community. There are hundreds of his former students, including my three children, who benefited from Gene’s teaching of government and history.
I had the good fortune to follow Gene on the South San Francisco City Council following his election to the Assembly. From day one, he was supportive and offered me his advice on local politics and continued to do so for the 18 years I served as a councilmember and mayor. I turned to Gene for his counsel on several occasions when facing difficult or hot-button issues. He always provided wise and practical solutions.
As Mr. Cotchett stated, many of us will miss his genuine friendship, integrity and guidance. Thank you Gene for all that you have done, and thank you Mr. Cotchett for writing the piece.
