Philip Keesey

PHILIP KEESEY, the toast of three continents, has only recently joined our ranks at Bapst. This clever redhead has been commercial cartooning for a decade. With his high interest in building model airplanes, one would suspect that he is heading for the United States Air Force. However, holding true to family tradition, Phil expects to join the Navy. Although Phil is not too well known by the members of the Senior class, he is highly respected, and during his brief year at Bapst has given all indications that he will reflect credit to our school.

My wife Beverley and I will be returning to Bangor to see family and friends for the first time in a long while. We were married in Castine in 1962 and we're looking forward to reminiscing a bit about the past and taking a brief respite from the daily toils of our existence.

My career has been, well, varied. I spent eight years in the Navy and then switched to the Air Force. There I worked on air-launched missiles and, subsequently, Minuteman Intercontinental missiles. I retired from the Air Force in early 1981. Since then I have "putzed," with the most satisfying interlude being a math instructor.

Currently, I'm semi-retired from everything and my main purpose is to read every book published in English... I'm not succeeding, of course, but if they'd quit writing them so fast.
