Like Ed, my connection with Phil Rees goes back to my days when attending graduate school at UNC-Chapel Hill. He was a fabulous mentor to those of us who aspired to be art librarians, and continued to receive his sage advice as we entered the profession. I would see Phil and sometimes Peg at many ARLIS/NA meetings including those in the Southeast. At one of the NYC conferences I had a harrowing taxi ride with Phil and others across Manhattan! And Phil was the first person who told me about a great store with wonderfully designed items, Crate and Barrel, before these shops spread around the United States! Such a great librarian and man. He will be missed.
