I mentioned this on another thread, but we lost a dear member this year.
Let’s raise a glass to the memory of John Tilley.

To the Professor [t$t]
I unfortunately did not get to know the very knowledgable gentleman, but sure wish I had ! Fair Winds to you sir…
There’s a large empty space on the ship forum … John Tilley, that erudite, generous gentleman, left a legacy to modelers containing his wisdom and wit. I’ll certainly raise my glass to toast his memory.

Usually a search of the web containing “Tilley” and “finescale” and a subject like “Charles W. Morgan” and you’ll get links to some pretty good discussions.
