Curmy's retirement

[winecollector]

I'm sorry to say, but I never had the chance to know Jerry Mead. I just recently found this wine board about three months ago. Prior to that, I had never met anyone as "obsessed" with wine as myself, and I didn't know that there were so many other people out there that enjoyed wine as much as I, until stumbling onto this site.

From the many postings of his that I have read from going back through the archives, it was obvious to me why you guys spoke so highly of him. I was very impressed with his knowledge, and now more so, from the kind words many of you have been writing as to the type of person Jerry was. I wish I would have had the chance to know him. People like him are few and far between.
