I am so happy to learn that Phil came from the Public Housing in Chicago.I was associated wit CHA myself.Did Phil live in Robert Taylor homes?

Lived both in Robert Taylor and Altgeld Gardens, both on the city's south side. Thanks Bilal.

To Phil and Rick, as a Metro employee, I cannot thank you enough for your leadership, and for caring about your people as a family does. Not just professional growth but also on a human level. As I am leaving Metro in 2 days, it is truly a very bitter sweet ending, but cannot be prouder of doing it with you both.
