- Philip Wylie's Nuclear Nightmare; "It will soon be time for the annual Open House in Rushford (Labor Day
weekend) to celebrate the lives of Governor Frank Higgins, Dr. Frederick Ballard, and Philip Gordon Wylie. Ron Beverly is the current owner of the historic home and delights in sharing its history with guests every fall. Ron plays the role of Governor Higgins, Jay Ballard becomes Dr.
Ballard for the day, and I am pleased to play the part of Philip Wylie. A good time is had by all and the event honors prominent residents who made notable contributions to the community.I recently competed an article on author Philip Wylie and his views on nuclear war as expressed in
several novels he wrote during the Cold War. The topic is still timely in terms of the nuclear proliferation and the increase in international terrorism that we are now experiencing. "

- Philip Wylie: An Appreciation; "Wylie
was one of the most popular and influential writers in the country from the 1940s through the 1960s. He was a rather quiet and shy fellow so many residents of Rushford never realized the fame
of their summer visitor. Wylie always relished the peace and tranquility of small-town life."
