Chris Wherry (born 1973) is a professional road racing cyclist from Boulder, Colorado.
Trudell, Wherry, and Sam Gordon (1897–1952) were the co-founders of American Mineralogist, and Trudell handled the finances of the new journal until the end of 1919, when it was handed over to the Mineralogical Society of America.
Wherry was born in Liberty, Nebraska, to David Emery and Jessie (née Comstock) Wherry.
The website was founded in August 2009 after three men in their 20s--Andrew Kipple, his brother Adam, and their friend Luke Wherry--noticed at a South Carolina Wal-Mart a woman who looked like a stripper to them in a t-shirt that read "go f*** yourself" with a 2 year old in a harness and a man with a beard reminiscent of those worn by ZZ Top.
Wherry sent specimens to Louis Burk, a Philadelphia horticulturalist, who confirmed Wherry's field observations in greenhouse-grown plants.
In his book Coot Club (1934) he describes the busy scene on the river at Wroxham Bridge with numerous boats – a wherry, punts, motor cruisers and sailing yachts – jostling for a mooring.
