Sharing music, information, and laughs with his radio audiences is what Phil has happily been doing since 1963.  "Even though I'm not  accomplishing something as meaningful as saving lives through brain surgery, I feel I've helped a little bit when a listener calls and says I brightened their day by some silly thing I've said.  Actually, a number of years ago, I did perform 'simulated' brain surgery on-the-air on one of my fellow announcers.  Unfortunately, he's still not quite right," Phil says.   Phil, from Paola, Ks, and his wife Lynn, from Leavenworth, Ks, moved their young family west to Garden City, Ks in 1966, after receiving their degrees from the University of Kansas.   Phil was a Western Kansas broadcast fixture for over 30 years as he and Lynn reared 4 children.  Eventually, to be nearer their family, the Weavers moved to Bartlesville, where their daughter Jennifer lives with her husband Chuck Tate, of Tate Boys Tire, and their children Carlee & Clay.  While Phil is on-the-air, his wife Lynn keeps busy as a Registered Mammography Technologist at Jane Phillips Medical Center.   Their son Mike drives the big rigs out of Springfield, Mo, where he lives with his wife Melodee.  Meanwhile, Phil & Lynn's twins have gone different directions.  Darren, his wife MJ, and daughters Jaslynn & Jenna, live in Tyler, Tx, where Darren is a programmer for Brookshires, a grocery company.  His twin sister Stephanie Longoria is permanently stationed in Washington, DC, as a saxophonist in the Navy Band.  She lives with her son Jacob in Alexandria, Va.  Phil & Lynn are members of the church of Christ, and love living in Bartlesville, and being closer to their children & grandchildren
