I grew up in Arizona, a long way from the Tilley family. But, I have some good memories of visiting them with my mother on Long Island in the 1960's and of John in particular from the time in the early 1970's when he and I were at Ohio State together.
The family celebrated his graduation together -- we were all so proud!
My own favorite memory, however, was when he invited me to go to an outdoor movie theater together. You remember those -- with the tinny metal boxes that fastened to the windows? It was a beautiful Ohio summer night - warm with a cool breeze and the smell of woods and flowers on the air.
When he invited me, John asked what I liked to drink. A little startled, I said "a martini." (Still true today). Well, we settled in with some popcorn and snacks to watch the movie, and John produced a thermos -- of ice-cold martinis! Of course, he had a jar of olives too. I don't remember the film but I remember laughing with John.
