I first met Ilmo at Oxford and have many happy memories together there but the one I’m focusing on & sharing now is from a brief but memorable trip to interview at Stanford for my PhD. We all reunited for lunch beforehand nearby to see Ilmo’s then new digs at Google X, as pictured. It was my first time meeting Cal & it was already clear what a little Ilmo he was. I don’t recall specifics about what we talked about, but I do remember laughing so hard that my cheeks hurt afterwards. I’m sure Ilmo shared something witty and silly, per usual. In the vein of his & Hayzell’s savorology club, we enjoyed hot fudge sundaes afterwards.
