Philip is the fifth of seven boys raised in Corbett by Dale and Sally Kurkinen. Now married to Megan and the father of AnnaBelle, Philip is living in a wonderful "new" home in Corbett. Mrs. Bonnie Lilly was Philip's first teacher at Corbett Grade School, and years later, Megan would student teach just across the hall from Mrs. Lilly! Being a trumpet player, homecoming king and track star who went to State twice in high school, Philip longed to get back to his "roots" after recently completing his master's degree. Purchasing their home/acreage in February was a dream come true. Megan was not raised in the country and really appreciates the sound of wildlife rather than traffic. Originally they had intended to make several changes to the home and yet once moved in, realized they loved it just the way it was! They feel "safe, quiet and settled" in the home and community. Currently they are volunteering on Saturdays at the Grange Hall with the "Helping Hands" food program. They both look forward to raising their daughter in Corbett, and are currently hosting a foreign exchange student from Switzerland for four weeks in their home. Also, Megan's folks are currently living with them as well! Both Philip and Megan feel they have a lot of blessings to share and love having a home available to share. Currently both are working in the field of education and enjoy being around children. Actually, Megan was just a mere 5 years old when she met Philip at church with his family. The rest, shall we say, is history!
