Lynde McCormick Obituary
Lynde was born on March 26, 1950, in Annapolis, MD, to U.S. Naval Academy graduate, Lynde D. McCormick Jr. and Reid Lazenby McCormick. He was raised in Annapolis in his early years until the family moved to La Jolla, CA. He graduated from Principia College with a Bachelor of Arts degree in History. He met his wife and future business partner, Andrea Jenks, in college. They were married for forty-one years.

He was business editor for the Christian Science Monitor and the Rocky Mountain News; and an on-air reporter for Monitor TV and Radio with his own show, Business by Lynde. McCormick was business news anchor for CNBC Asia in Hong Kong.

He also owned and operated two restaurants, the acclaimed Brooklyn Label in Green point, Brooklyn and Café Jax on the Upper East Side. Lynde remarked about his business ventures, "Our philosophy has been that when someone walks through the door, the goal is not to sell them something, but to make them want to come back."

Went to La Jolla Country Day school with Lynde in the mid-'60s. He was a nice chap. He didn't finish HS there ... so I lost track of whereabouts. Sorry to hear of his passing. My best to his family...
