    Sunday ~ June 27, 1976

    Jeff Merritt Released From Prison

    Heavyweight Boxer claims to be a 'new man'. Vows to focus 100% on being clean, and with plans to
    return to boxing.

    Nearly 50 of Jeff's family and friends greeted him at the Gate of the State Prison in Jefferson City,
    Missouri when he walked out on Saturday Morning {June 26, 1976}.

    Jeff Merritt,

    "I never want to see this place again. No more Drugs or Bad Thoughts. This last visit cost me
    11-Months of my life. I have no one to blame other than myself. I was a bad person. Now I'm
    clean, and a new man. No more 'Candy Slim', as he has been put away. Now it's just plain Jeff."

    "First thing I want to do is thank all of the people who have stood behind me. My family and friends.
    Now I want to make them proud. I want to get back into shape, and return to boxing. I plan
    on stepping back into the Ring for a Professional Bout by August {5-Weeks}."

    "I have already talked to '3' Fight Promoters. One in {Orlando, Florida}, one in {New York} and
    one in {Nassau, Bahamas}. I'm listening to each deal to see which one would be the best for me."
