	Phy Wedding Paul Phy was my first verifiable immigrant to America in our Philadelphia Phy family. All we know for sure, is that the name was something else to start with, and Phy is not a German spelling. It may have been Phile, Fey, Vey, or Feik, or a variation of any of them. My mom, Jennie Stella Phy, joined the Navy early in WWII. Her father, Charles Frederick Phy, had been gassed in WWI. Her two younger brothers were too young for the war, and she felt it was her patriotic duty to stand for America. That theme still runs through my family. She and my dad were both stationed in Washington, D.C., and were married at Camp Holabird, Baltimore, MD November of 1944.After the war, they moved to my dad's family home in Nevada City, California, which is where I was born about a year later. Paul Phy worked for Jesse George on the George estate for over thirty years, and named his youngest son, my gggrandpa, Jesse George Phy for an employer that he admired. Submitted by Ingrid Briles

	Benjamin Baldy Culp When the 1943 Philadelphia Phillies were sold to the Carpenter family, they tried to change the team's losing image by changing their name to the Blue Jays. The "Phillies" name continued to appear on the team's jerseys, with a blue jay on the sleeves. The nickname didn't stick and was later dropped. My first cousin, twice removed, was Benjamin Baldy Culp, 1914-2000. Benny was born in Philadelphia, growing up in the Tacony section. He lived his whole life in Philadelphia, played for the team briefly and later became a coach. He is pictured here on this team program for the "Blue Jays". Submitted by Greg Price
