	Reed Gold Mine - History of John Reed's Mine
		As "Reed" meets both of these criteria when compared with Ried, and several of his sons signed their names in that manner, the spelling seems to have been a logical choice.
		In 1799 the course of Reed's life and a portion of the history of his adopted homeland was turned about by the accidental discovery of gold on his property.
		Conrad subsequently showed the yellow rock to his father, but John Reed, unable to identify it, set the heavy stone aside as a useful doorstop and continued life as usual.

	Reed Gold Mine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1799, Conrad Reed, the son of farmer and former Hessian soldier John Reed (né Johannes Reith), found a large yellow rock in Little Meadow Creek on the family farm in Cabarrus County, North Carolina.
		In 1802, however, a jeweler in Fayetteville identified the rock as a gold nugget and bought it from the unwitting John Reed for $3.50; the nugget's true value was, in all likelihood, over $3000.
		The last underground mining activity at the Reed occurred in 1912, and the last large nugget uncovered by placer mining was discovered in 1896.

	The Velvet Underground - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lou Reed had performed with a few short-lived garage bands and had worked as a songwriter for Pickwick Records, a job Reed described as "a poor man's Carole King".
		Reed and Morrison have reported the group liked the name, considering it evocative of "underground cinema," and fitting, due to Reed's already having written "Venus In Furs", inspired by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch's book of the same name, also dealing with sadomasochism.
		Reed's songs and singing are subdued and confessional, and he shared lead vocals with Yule, particularly when his own voice would fail under stress.

	E&E RPCVs — Volunteers: Conrad Hirsh
		Conrad's mother set her alarm clock for 3 o'clock in the morning in Kansas so that she could be awake and be with us.
		Conrad was a man of the bush, rivers and mountains and thus he was not a formal person, so I don't want this event to be formal or somber.
		What we can control is how we live life, and Conrad did that fully and well, with lasting friendships and kindness, and a passion for explorationÖI'm sure a lot of people have said this, but the spirit with which Conrad handled his illness was inspiring, and a testament to who he was.

		Conrad had given me some brief instruction on reed making not long before, and I was still floundering away at it.
		First, I was stuck with a reed I could just barely play; second, the Selmer was an open-hole model which I wasn't at all used to; and third, the instrument seemed to be in pretty poor shape.
		He removed the reed, briefly crowed it, made a wry face, stuck the reed back in the oboe and started to play.
