Phil came up to Rhode Island so we could co present & facilitate an introduction to his work for the local community. What are the odds that in my little town when Phil visited, the a capella group from Yale, the Whiffenpoofs were performing! So we went and had a geeky, Yale loving, a capella loving good time! We introduced ACORN to many people during that visit. People who are in recovery today because of that visit, and because of the ripple effect that was started. Phil touched my life personally & professionally and he directly & indirectly touched lives of those I support personally & professionally. He helped countless people on their healing path and he is and will always be remembered fondly. Also: on 9/9/23, the day Phil died, there was a Rhode Island OA event and many of the people with recovery at the event have been counseled by Phil!
