Hanging Out with Phil
Our first video is a collection of excerpts from a home videotape that was created in 1995.  Included in the scenes are Philip, DJ Guider, Jason Hebert, and Tonya Hebert.  This remarkable footage differs from all other known tapes because it proves to be the most lifelike, capturing Phil in very natural state - joking with friends, telling a story, and interacting with strangers.  The stories, events, and humor contained within these scenes show perfectly what it feels like to pal around on a typical day with Phil.  Ironically, in the scene which best brings his facial features and mannerisms back to life for us to see on film, Philip tells of a dream where a mythical figure appears and predicts his death by taking his picture with a camera.

Ellen's Photo Montage
This tape was screened at the April 2001 memorial service held at the Italian-American community center in Albany, near the crash site.  Visitors witnessed the unveiling of a stone and bronze memorial, then moved to the community center where they heard moving eulogies told by friends and family of both Philip and Amy, then viewed this amazing collection of photographs set to music.  A Times Union reporter covered the event.

News Footage - April 2000
This is a collection of newscasts that aired in the days following Philip's death.  They were recorded by Robyn Dennis straight from her television, which was a lucky move for us because the stations had already dumped their archives of the footage before we tardily requested them.  Two of the reels shown here feature Jason Hebert in interviews with a channel 23 news crew.  The last segment, Compassionate Friends, actually ran months later and features Howard Katz and Agatha Pyskadlo taking part in a candle-lighting ceremony as part of a local support group.
