I have a lot of good memories about Mrs. and Mrs. Campbell,Marvin and the girls. My dear and good friend Mike Hanselman and I often share those memories with our children and grandchildren. Those were the fun days on Capital Avenue - playing baseball, riding bicycles all over town and listening to the steel guitar music on the porch. Mrs. Campbell was such a wonderful person - always having patience when Marvin, Mike and I were all playing at the house. I had the utmost respect for her and know that she will be sadly missed by her family. Thanks for the good times and memories, Ethel - Mike and I will continue to share our stories with our families.
