Grandpa Phillips was enamoured with my Grandmother. In his 1967 memoir, Mayor of all the People, he wrote about his Ett in loving, glowing terms:
Ett has the kindest, most gentle, loving, unselfish, and sympathetic disposition of anyone I know. She is a sensitive, intelligent, proud, and determined woman...I consider myself lucky to have been blessed with Ett's love, devotion and companionship. (p.55)
Kim Novak or Jayne Mansfield could never tempt him. He saved his love & kisses for Ett.
