Super Phillips dropped by FRA (October 2004) to say good bye to folks as he is off to Parris Island, SC for basic training in the Marines. Super and his cousin Lance Lanier joined under the “buddy system.” Both Super and sister Hope have been working with their father Buck at D & J Enterprises of Auburn and going wherever they are called upon to cleanup after disasters. They have spent much of the year in Wilmington, NC after Hurricane Charley. Buck has been in the Punta Gorda and Port Charlotte areas of Florida cleaning up, and the youngest sibling, Faith, has enjoyed her senior year of high school there with him. Best of luck to Super.

Email from Super Phillips

I hope all is well in Woodbury Ga. I’m currently with the Marine Corps finishing up a tour in Iraq. I’m located at Al Asad Air Base here. The weather here is constantly hot and dry. We are being told that our arrival back to the states is around the 1st of Sept. I was on the internet and thought about saying hey. Take care and feel free to write back anytime. Hope to see you at some of Flint River’s home football games.

2^nd Email from Super Phillips

I’m doing ok here I guess. I am here in Al Asad with my unit VMFA-142 (Marine Fighter Attack Squadron) which is out of Atlanta. I work with FA-18 aka Hornets. There is a lot of excitement with my fellow Marines here because we are getting ready to come home. Over here is a completely different world. The military presence, the heat, wildlife all is a new & unforgettable experience. We are so lucky to be living in the USA.

I got married on June 21, 2003. I'm teaching at Mount de Sales Academy in Macon, GA. I teach Bio II and Chemistry. No kids yet:)
