Dear Bangsers, one and all,
The first time I really came to know Phyllis was on a beautiful fall afternoon while sitting in the yard of the house in Larchmont, drinking ice tea and discussing life. I had just married into the Cooper family, and we spent the day discussing life, marriage, and careers. We had one another’s utmost attention, and I knew then that this was a woman I would always consider a friend. She was so gracious, very generous with herself and her talents. And she once told me, when I had asked for advice on how she arranged her trademark scarf, “Charity, you must never study a scarf!”
My deepest condolences on the loss of this remarkable woman.
