Philip C. Beals

Phil, Elaine and I met over a bottle of California wine at the Moose Lodge and guest ranch in Moose, Wyoming. I brought the wine. They brought the friendship which lasted until both of their passing. Many trails, many trout streams, and many funny stories wrapping around a lifelong friendship that spanned many years and both coasts. I miss you both so much.

To the Beals Family~

Phil's death just has come to my attention and I wanted to express condolences to you, on behalf of my family. My dad, Greely (BHS & Harvard '42), enjoyed Phil's friendship and companionship over all those years.

May time heal your pain and enhance your memories. Take good care of each other~

Mr. Beals,
Sir, as a fellow Marine I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the USMC as fighter pilot during WW II and the Korean War. It was the history and accomplishments made by you and your fellow Marines back then that all of us Marines who followed in your footsteps have always tried to live up to. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

My sympathy to the Beals family... Though I never met Mr Beals, I want to thank him for the wonderful gift he has given all of us in preserving the Chestnut Hill Farm and all the beautiful, open lands around it.
I grew up in Westboro, live in Marlboro- I remember farms, cows and the sweet smell of fresh mown hay. Now the farms of Westboro and Marlboro are gone, covered with ridiculous mini-mansions or other sad uses. Thanks to the goodness of Mr Beals I can take my grandsons down Chestnut Hill road and tell them how things 'used to be' in the 'boros'.
