Memory of Mead McCoy
I knew Mead as a coworker for many years at HRB. I learned from him by observation. Such as where was a good place to stop to eat on the “back way” to Washington DC when work called us there.
He was an avid hunter (not me) but I read some of his stories about those annual hunting trips to Michigan. He wrote detailed and amusing accounts of those adventures which made for interesting reading. He also wrote two books (titled Man Food and More Man Food and authored by Charles Banks) that included many recipes devoted to cooking outdoors with various natural ingredients. But, to me, the more interesting information was contained in the text between the recipes that provided insight into his life experiences while growing up. Fortunately, a few years ago after we both were retired, a chance meeting occurred at the Home Delivery Pizza restaurant that gave me the opportunity to express my pleasure in reading his writings directly to him.
Mead was a unique and interesting down-to-earth man who is missed.
