from page 25
Child analysts, Don Spivak, M.D., Michael Coleman, M.D., and Kerry Kelly Novick, A.B.BA,
form the Michigan Psychoanalytic Institute will discuss a variety of issues concerning children
with special needs. Sibling relationships, toilet training, the emotional impact of the special needs
child on the family are just a few of the many issues that will be discussed. This is sure to be vi-
tal education for grandparents, parents, friends and teachers and will help identify warning signs
of children who may have developmental or physical delays.
Come learn about a special needs hot line in the works and future

As a boss, Phil always had time to
"talk tachlis," as he often liked to say.
He wouldn't always tell you what
you needed to hear, but the
metaphors he would use to describe
your situation, whether it was related
to work or romance, sent you away
feeling delighted. Phil's domain, his
home, is a realm in which he seems
to shine brightest. I always looked at
his marriage to Lisa as ideal. The two
are just as much in love today as they
were 20-some years ago when they
got married. When he talks about
Lisa, he sounds like a schoolboy who
just met his crush on the play- -
ground. When they're together, their 1
profound respect for each other is
obvious.
As a father to DeeDee and Emily,
Phil is just as adoring. He would
calm down Emily if she called to
complain about her older sister teas-
ing her. He would tell DeeDee, with
a combination of good-natured
sternness, to ease up on her sister. He
also put in his share of carpooling
and parent-teacher conferences,
shopping, cooking and cleaning. In
short, he always has time for his fam-
ily.
Would it be hyperbolic to com-
pare Phil to the patriarch Abraham,
whose kindness exceeded his good
sense at times? Who opened his tent
to strangers? Who didn't like walls?
Who could not bear unkindness? Or
are those righteous souls so few that
they are impossible to find? I'm not
so sure.
Phil, I speak for others, too, when
I say Baltimore is lucky. May your
neshama continue to shine its light
on everyone.
