Just to keep this from falling off the bottom of the page, I'll add something more.

As I recall, when I entered the main lodge at Rainy Camp for the first time in 1997 there was this tall, lanky man standing there. He immediately came up to me, introduced himself, and from then on we became good friends. No pretensions, just very friendly and open. That's how I remember Phil.
