Jon was a good friend when our family, friends of his family, moved to Glen Ellyn from Detroit in 1965 (5th grade).  We even lived with his family for a few days till our house was ready.  Jon and I loved reading and trading comic books together.  His favorites were Spider Man and FF (Fantastic Four).  I think he collected most all of the Spider Man series.  He was more serious and a better/faster reader than me.

He helped me learn to ski, or at least to attempt to learn, at Wilmot Mt. in WI, during a ski club trip, since he and his family had been skiing for several years.

We used to go skate boarding on Elm St. (or Oak?) together down the street's hill.

He was very smart and did not seem to have to work as hard at classes as I did to get better grades.

Sometime in Jr. High or early Glenbard years we developed different friends and we drifted apart and never really reconnected.  Was always sorry about that.
