One of our ex-pat classmates, Phil was born and reared in Manhattan and came to Andover after his Catholic school ended in the eighth grade, with a couple of family connections.
As for many of us, it is clearly where he wanted to go.
Except for his Chinese exchange trip with Melanie Lynch and Atticus Lish, Phil spent all of his time at PA in Will Hall. That one trip to China changed his life. So did have something at school that was his own through his love of Chinese, since there was so much talent on campus.
Phil says that there will never be a question if he's coming back to our reunions.
