Jerry Mead

(To expand on IK's reference to the founding of this board) - Once upon a time, there were many people on the AOL Wine Board. Then they said they were going to do away with it, and Jerry decided he was not going to take that lying down - hence this site. Most of us followed him here - in fact I cancelled my AOL subscription. I had never met him in person, but we corresponded for some years (email, snail mail, fax and phone), mainly about interstate wine shipping. I guess I got on his good side, because he gave me a gratis subscription to The Wine Trader. I'm not sure, but I think Bucko knows him better than just about anyone else here. Jerry Mead was The Wine Curmudgeon and he was a genuinely good person.
