Before assuming duties as the new U.S. ambassador to Italy, John R. Phillips will make a stop in his hometown of Leechburg.
Friends and family will gather Sept. 1 to give him a proper send-off at the Marconi Club, where Mr. Phillips' grandparents -- Italian immigrants -- and his family often gathered.
