He grew up in Fredericksburg, steeped in the history of the Old South, living with his mother and aunts. . Two of his maternal uncles were a Confederate soldiers in Fredericksburg's Company C, 30th Rgt. Northern Virginia Confederate Army.
Allen spent much of his life in northern Virginia and the Washington DC area, reflecting the fine and patriotic values of this area. He came into adulthood just as World War II broke out, enlisting in 1941 and he was soon engulfed in that epic battle, serving with the U.S. Army in Europe, participating in the US landing in Normandy on D-Day. He moved with his unit across France eastward until injuries removed him from the battlefront. He served until hostilities ended in 1946 when he was honorably discharged and returned to civilian life.
Allen had always been a good student, interested equally in sports and in the arts, especially drawn to study of English language and literature. He next completed his BA and MA at the University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill), eventually pursued specialization in Secondary Education.
Allen will be best remembered for his long relationship with The Episcopal School of Alexandria, VA where he was a longtime teacher, coach and administrator. He was Dean of Students there for 26 years. On his retirement, the school honored him by naming a prize in his name that reflected his lifetime values of citizenship, integrity and character-- the Allen C. Phillips, Jr. "Integrity in Action" Prize. This is given annually, as well as the Allen C. Phillips student Scholarship for English study.
Among Allen Phillips' many accomplishments was his 50 + year marriage and family of two children. But his "family" included generations of boys at Episcopal School. He was a beloved "Mr.Chips"-type educator and mentor for these boys and a role model for contemporaries.
After his retirement, he was a regular community and church volunteer, offering his assistance where needed to church and community. He was highly respected for his mild, dignified manner and the ability to relate to people of all ages and station. He died Oct 31, 2007 at home and is buried in his beloved Alexandria, Virginia.
