Sorry to learn of Philip's death so late. He was a flutist with me and Leslie Sheary in GI Symphony created in Paris after WWII. We eventually moved to Frankfort, Germany when Eisenhowers SHEAF Headquarters was moved to and toured all the major opera houses in the American Zone of Occupation for troops waiting to be sent home. I have lots of pictures.
