Philip's Story

My father was was in the Air Force stationed at Dyess AFB, Incirlik Turkey, Rome AFB I lived in Abilene from 65-69. We moved on to Newport, RI and then to Turkey for two years. Graduated from high school in Rome, NY with full intentions of going to U of Wisconsin where I planned to study journalism. Got a wild hare up my backside and joined the Air Force instead. Traveled the world for the next 20 years. Spent 10 of the 20 in Biloxi, Ms where I flew on C-130's. Prior to that I worked on the NATO AWACS (plane with the rotating dome on top) program in Germany. I retired in 1974 and went back to to complete another degree at University of Southern Mississippi. I continue to live in Biloxi where I have worked in various management positions with the Emergency Medical Services.

We fared well but the community was a devastating loss. Another "incomplete" was to visit the last 2 states that I had missed in my previous travels. Also, made a point to visit all those places I had lived. Completed that in the summer of 07. I also wanted to reconnect with the more "memorable" of those whom I have met in my journeys. You are the latest. I have also returned to my passion for photography. Paid jobs help support the addiction. I have started building a website but mostly display on myspace/graphotix. Well, brief as it is, there is a synopsis of my life. I hope I may have triggered some recollections of those good old days and have a moment to catch me on how you are doing. Phil
