GRAD CHECK
Each year students make the legendary walk through the Campanile, down The Hill and into the real world. We're here to check in on them.
John Lilla
Year: 1987
Hometown: Overland Park
Degree: Business administration
Fraternity: Delta Chi
Back in the day: Lilla once kept score for Danny Manning in a game of bowling. He says he was taking advantage of a Sunday special at the Jaybowl, when Manning walked in with a KU recruit and a couple others. The problem was, according to Lilla, that none of them knew how to keep score.
So Lilla kept it for them (by hand of course).
Today: Lilla is an attorney for Leon G. Kusnetzky, PC in Kansas City, Mo.
