Thomas Ridley Lemon

Like so many attorneys in Indiana, Tom taught me how to mediate. I appreciated his practical advice and will always remember him explaining how exhausting it is to try to behave differently than who you really are. I have really taken that message through life and I feel like it is a really important life truth. I know Tom impacted a lot of lives. He had a life well-lived.

I have many positive and happy memories of events and unique times with Thomas Ridley Lemon. Perhaps my favorite is the annual meeting of the American College of Trial Lawyers, of which Tom was an elected Regent, half of the meeting was in Paris, France, and half in London, England. Tom discovered that we could travel from Paris to London on the Orient Express Railroad, and booked that trip for Jo and Tom and Sarah and me for just a few extra dollars.
After getting our train tickets, Tom learned his primary client, a Warsaw manufacturing company, for which he was its litigation defense attorney, was having an important meeting in New York City. Tom had to be there and booked a round-trip flight on the Concorde aircraft for just a few extra dollars. Jo, Sarah and I took the Orient Express from Paris to London without Tom. I enjoyed scrambled eggs and Champagne
on the Orient Express with two very attractive women.
Tom successfully accomplished his purpose for attending his client´s meeting in NYC and we four rejoined together to complete the ACTL meeting in Europe - why not?
