To me, Philip was a beautiful, complicated fellow. I was 19 when I knew him. Marianne Jenkins owned Bedford Images, the hair salon within the plaza where Philip worked. I was a new stylist with plenty of time on my hands. Although he was short on words, it was of great comfort to me that he was always around. Even at the tender age of 19, I could recognize how pure of heart he was.
