Phil was my neighbor across the street from the 1st grade through the 6th grade. We lived on Lynwood Street so you can say we learned to climb trees together. Other ‘69 neighbors through the 6th grade were Clay Thornton, Joe Ross Rogers, Ray Gwynn and Rusty Jones just to name a few. Spent the most time at Phil’s house including a few sleep-overs. I was devistated when Phil was severely burned back then. I can still here my mom yelling from our front porch “Dale it’s time to come home” and I’d tell Phil, “see you tomorrow”. Guess we ran out of tomorrow’s but I’ll always remember Phil Christian.
