My stay at Stanford was a most important period of my professional life, and you made it special although I was very anxious about the illness of my mother, in Rome. I hope you will have more free time now, and look forward to meeting again in Rome, anytime you come and visit us! Have a wonderful time and be happy! Gratefully...

It's a life very well lived indeed!! We both love him, and may the joie de vivre continue for many many more years... Bob and Sally Ornstein United States Dear Phil, Here's to you, young man! You've done so much for psychology -- in your teaching, textbooks, research, speeches everywhere, leadership in WPA, APA, and around the world. The whole field is greatly indebted to you for your enthusiasm, energy, dedication, and follow-through on great projects. Both students and faculty members look to you as an outstanding role model. I know that "retirement" won't stop your flow of creativity, but it will give you a chance to focus more of your energies on your selected areas of emphasis. Enjoy every minute of it!!! Best wishes always to you and Christina. Stuart Oskamp Claremont Graduate University United States Happy Retirement, Phil! Hard to imagine that brain retiring. I want to thank you first for the terrific influence you provided when, as an undergraduate, I read the Stanford Prison Experiment and decided that I wanted to become a clinical psychologist focusing on the role of the environment in human problems instead of a neuropsychopharmacologist. More than 30 years later, you have had the vision to give APA the opportunity to be at the forefront of addressing conflicts of interest, and I am delighted and privileged to have the opportunity to work with you. Best of all, you have become a wonderful friend who even comes to Washington! I feel very fortunate to know you, and I look forward to more debates, collaborations, and fun together.
