Guess Phillips is in my blood.

Great place to grow up with friends Phillip Mahan, Delton Waits, Robert Burks, Clinton Brown, Jerry Redden, Dan Bennefield, and Harvey Hilbert. Being in Boy Scout Troop 66 was especially rewarding with Mr. Duncan as our Scout Master. PHS school teachers were the best. Attending the 50 year reunion was a real experience to see the PHS school spirit still strong (my wife Irene was impressed since they do not do that in Scotland).
