Dr. Phibbs was a delightful human being and doctor. He was a major role model for those of us privileged to have been taught by him at the U of A.

I recognize this is not a forum page, however, I would like to offer up that Dr. Phibbs memoirs is still available. It was retitled "Our War for the World" and you will be able to find it online. May he 'live on' with your sharing this wonderful book! Blessings
