Her father, JWD, and my great grandmother, Mary Louisa Phillips McConahy, were brother and sister. I have written a book enttiled, Write, If You Live to Get There, a collection of over 200 letters from the Phillips family from 1842 - 1962. It traces the Phillips family migration from Vermont to California. Would you be willing to have a phone conversation with me about Vade? This summer I will participate in the South Lake Tahoe Historical Museum's fundraiser called Chatautqua. I will play Vade in an historical reinactement and would like to learn as much as I can about her. I enjoyed your article and think you captured the spunk and determination Vade had. Thanks for your consideration. Mary Jo Sonntag - maryjosonntag@gmail.com.

My hubby told me this morning we've driven right past the marker where the Phillips Resort used to stand.
