Grady Wells, a novelist and radio producer, who became the first executive editor and editor-in-chief of US Black Engineer magazine in 1986 and set the standards for inspiring journalism for more than a decade at Career Communications Group, died April 4 in Ithaca, New York. He was 60. His death came after a long illness, his wife Penelope said.
 
He served as editor for a variety of local and national print publications and eventually authored a book using voice-activated software. "Wine Tour of the Finger Lakes" came out in 2004 and is an indispensable guide to the best local wineries. It includes Grady's well-researched take on regional varieties, the art of wine tasting and of course, what to eat with what. He also took his show on the airwaves, hosting a radio broadcast by the same title on WEOS.
