To Campbell Family -- I remember our early years across the street from Sherman Institute & the many times the Campbell's and Addleman's celebrated things together. We enjoyed going to Sherman and seeing movies in the movie theater, as well as swimming in the large swimming pool. Both our families attended the Arlington Christian Church and participated in their many activities. Both our families served in the military. The service at Riverside National Cemetery was attended by about 100, who watched the Naval petty officers & the bagpiper. Best of luck to all.
