Phillips played a vital role in wartime Manila in helping U.S. prisoners in the infamous Cabanatuan prison camp. Her autobiography, Manila Espionage, published when Phillips returned to Oregon after the war in 1947, is a heart-pounding tale of danger, drama, romance, and tragedy. Film clips, rare memorabilia, newspaper clippings, and photos illustrating her amazing life will also be on display.
Sig Unander is currently working on a documentary on the life of Claire Phillips. Unander, a fourth-generation Oregonian, is a historian, and an aviation art collector and dealer.

Cornell Estates will host the program on Monday, April 19th, at 1:30 p.m. in the Party Room.

Most of these children are abandoned by their parents due to poverty, unemployment, alcoholism, and drug use. They live under the streets and in the abandoned buildings and parks of Odessa.
In September of 2005, as Pastor of The First Presbyterian Church of Daytona Beach, Florida, Bob traveled to Ukraine and volunteered at a shelter for street children in Odessa. He met the staff and photographed children on the streets. In 2006, he returned to Odessa where his photographs were on exhibition during that week as a means to increase awareness of the plight of homeless children. Touched, Gamble resigned as Pastor of his church and moved to Odessa to help.
This Child Here has a mission to guide and encourage street children toward a life with a family, in a shelter or an orphanage, and to provide these children with the love, encouragement, life skills and motivation to lead healthy emotional, physical, mental and spiritual lives.
Bob Gamble’s mother, Bee Gamble, was a resident here at Cornell Estates and has graciously agreed to conduct this program.
Free and open to the public.
