Tell me about Jack Kent Cooke

JKC met with Marion Barry, likely to discuss a new stadium deal back in the day. The press eagerly awaited JKC to tell the public what they talked about and he said curiously that they talked about "..cabbages and kings and all sorts of things".

Anyone know what John Cooke is up to these days??? What ever happened to him? I heard he owns a winery somewhere in VA.

He did open a winery (http://www.centrevilletimes.com/news/2008/nov/19/local-winery-taps-town-center/). I also seem to remember that he spent a lot of time in Bermuda or some such place. I think he was an avid sailor or something like that. Maybe it was cricket. I remember it because when those Millstein Brothers were trying to get the team, they sent a P.I. to Bermuda to try to spy on John Cooke and get information about him. Maybe it was when they were sueing the League and Casserly and Cooke after they lost their bid.

Update (April 22, 2009): Just got my paper back today expecting a C or D based on how my professor described his grading criteria. Instead it turns out I ended up with an A (91/100 no A-'s in Georgia). So with that said I want to once again express my appreciation to everyone who helped me out with the thread. This is 30% of my grade in the class so it definitely means a lot. Now all I have to do is help out on the group project that counts as 40% of the grade.

Never mind that nonsense about euphoria and so on, it is sheer unadulterated, uncompromising ecstasy.'' LOL
