Phil was one of my undergraduate advisors at Cornell 1956 to 60. I assisted him a few times in his office at Rockefeller Hall. He also had an office at the more modern Newman Lab for Nuclear Studies that had the 1Bev electron synchrotron where I worked summer of 1958 as Robert Wilson’s assistant helping him maintain parts of the synchrotron.
