Many people probably didn't think that Phyllis was anything
special. Single lady that lived alone all of her life. No kids. No
husband. No grand career. But Phyllis had an active inner life
along with an adventuresome spirit that led her into all sorts of
situations. She worked for the American Embassy in Spain and Greece
just after World War II, biked and skied around Europe with her dog
Chispa, worked with famous midcentury Modernist architect E. Stuart
Williams, had movie legend Pepe Serna for a landlord, and once had
to have Jose Greco do her plumbing And on a hair-thin budget she
managed to survive and weather the storms that one has in life, all
while supporting those less fortunate. She indeed was special to
those around her. This book of poetry and escapades is a revelation
about the uniqueness of us all, if we just look hard enough to find
it. ... and Phyllis thought to herself, ... "Here I am, drinking
whiskey and dancing with a man who is an almost total stranger in a
night club in Basel, Switzerland, at three in the morning. Not bad
for a middle-aged school teacher from California "
