Jerry Cooke - Mt. Hood Missing Man

[wintergirl]

I'm trying to get information to find out if this is the same Jerry Cooke I knew 20 years ago.

I met him in 1986 at a Stuyvesant HS dance.

I only knew him for a brief time.

All the clues lead me to believe it is him (age 36, same name - I just don't know about the "Nikko" part of his name, from NY, and it looks like how he would have aged to look after 20 years).

Does anyone know if this Jerry's birthday was Feb 11th?

This is the only other clue I have.

I know some of you (as I've read) knew him somehow.

Nevermind.

It is definitely him.

Everything states its him....same name, correct age, from NYC, etc.

I guess I just couldn't believe it.

I'm sorry that I can't reference the article I saw it in today, but a colleague of "Nikko"'s, a fellow lawyer, mentioned that he didn't know why the media refers to Jerry as Nikko because everyone he knows calls Jerry by "Jerry"...that he's never heard him referred to as Nikko. In addition, his climbing partner on Rainier refers to him always as "Jerry". Perhaps "Nikko" is only a nickname his family uses. (My brother has an affectionate nickname that only we call him by.). No one else knows it.)

Frikadeller,

 

That's super-weak. I hope a moderator deletes your post soon.

His family called him Nikko on TV

Hey Frikadeller

What you said was completely rude, cold hearted, and had nothing to do with my post. It wasn't funny either.

I hope that you never have a tragedy in your family or amongst your friends, etc.

And if you do, I hope that you actually give a shit.
