I founded Mead college in 1973. Awesome college. Unfortunately I had to shut it down in 1978 the year I got married. Wish I had keep it going. Meadcoin and meadazon would be world famous now.
I founded Mead Colorado when I was young.

We had plans for Mead self driving cars but someone broke in and stole all my drawings.
