Hi!

[Cohen, Gerald Leonard]

  This is stating the obvious, but here goes. Wilson Gray is some 50 years the senior of the young woman who so grossly and gratuitously insulted him.  He has had a very wide range of life experiences and a keen interest in language, and his extensive ads-l postings over the years have been of enormous benefit to numerous word researchers. On occasion I have published his work and have been honored to do so.

     He is one of the finest people I have been privileged to be in contact with.
