Philip K. Carson ’50

Phil died Dec. 9, 2005, while under hospice care in Pinellas Park, Fla.

Born in Cincinnati, and a graduate of its Walnut Hills High School, Phil majored in modern languages at Princeton. After a short stint in the Army and several jobs in his native Cincinnati area, he took a job in Houston in 1957 to eschew the northern winters. By our 25th he had moved to St. Petersburg, Fla., where for 25 years he was city treasurer.

Phil was a championship bridge player who was a leader of Princeton's Bridge Club during his undergraduate days and a Life Master at age 28. He also played the organ.

Our condolences go to his sister, Liz Hall, and Leon Scher, his companion for more than 35 years.
