Am saddened to just now learn- off of FB, about your Fathers passing in Feb. I don't think this would have happened in the 70's...(before smart phones & FB etc) . Imo, We've become less close to each other in this new digi world, but ?
Of any man in City Planning I ever got to meet, your Dad seemed always to be the most comfortable in his own skin:… eccentric, (always);) cantankerous (sometimes);) and very funny when he'd come here w/ Betty for a visit … All brought about by you being Kate's good friend He was one of a few of Judy's friends that didn't 'judge me' for making my living in Rock & Roll! & buying a house in Linda Vista;) We were always happy to see him and Betty when they would come by the house for a visit, and I regret that our visits dropped off in time, as you and Kate became full grown and went off into the larger world…" (...How come I like the older world?…:-)
I tell people all the time about about knowing John, and, that because of your Dad, ALONE! , we have our wonderful OLD TOWN in Pasadena, which is a big success! Your Dad may have loved 'The Dodgers… but his love of Historical Preservation will be forever appreciated. Maybe he was a randy joke teller & your Mother may have put up with a hell of lot over their years together:) Good on her..& you & Aimee too (imo, you were raised in 'The Club of 'special?) Most all wonderful!
