Our community has lost a very, dear friend today. Phil Savenick was a fixture in this city and a wonderful historian and friend, to many of us. I’m at a loss of words to describe how wonderful and important Phil was. He was the only historian I knew that encouraged me the way he did. A true mentor.

Last year I interviewed Phil for my Robinson’s Gardens segment on spectrum news beautifully produced by @makefreshproductions. Phil gave us the most wonderful interview. I’m posting a few minutes here from that memorable segment.
