I was born in Orlando, FL in 1947, the eldest of 7 living children. My mother was Stella May Royals aka Gail Bowen of Stockton, GA and my father was Philip K Philips, the eldest son of Greek immigrants. My paternal Grandmother was Marianthy Spanou and my paternal Grandfather was George Kostandas (Filipos) I am a retired Army officer and also retired from the Boeing Company after nearly 24 years. UPDATE: In about 2017 my Ancestry DNA results came back and my biological father was identified a Durwood Lee Wiley of North Carolina. So, I've gained 4 new brothers and an entire family to research now.
