2005 Newsletter
Phil retired (as founder and CEO) of Kantronics in 2001. Couldn't stand sitting around so commuted weekly for two-years to work on a radio astronomy project near Amherst, Mass. That just completed, Phil is now working in the local office of American Express Financial Advisors. Spouse Pat (Shawnee Mission North '60 and KU '63) spends her weekdays working at the Kansas Board of Regents, Topeka. They travel frequency to Norman, Okla. to visit Becca (LHS grad '84) and grandkids. Phil visits twice per year with Sherri (Dobbins) Millsap when visiting her brother or the dentist across the hall!
