been trying to figure this one out. the way i understand it is "geerlings and wade, inc" the name and wine operations was sold to 1800flowers.com leaving an empty shell and a few questions. if you contact geerlings and wade via contact info on thier website they will say they have nothing to do with GEER yet, of course, when you punch in the ticker geer it comes up as geerlings and wade. If you check with sos, the name of this public shell was changed-just not with SEC. As near as i can tell, mr geerlings stills owns this shell. Cannot get a hold of mr geerlings, but am working on some other avenues
