Campbell are great people when come from every walk of life. I am proud to be the granddaughter of the late Adolph J. Campbell

I never knew Col. Campbell but am very curious if he had an older brother perhaps, named Thomas M. Campbell, Jr. Also of Tuskegee. If so, the names and locations of any of his children

I had the great opportunity to have Col Campbell serve as the keynote speaker at the 51st Air Force Ball in Monterey Ca, sponsor by the 311th Training Squadron, and the Air Force Element at the Defense Language Institute, Presidio of Monterey Ca. His stories and words of wisdom shall always remain in the hearts and souls of all who atttended. Col Campbell was truly a man of great pride and distinction.

Served with Bill on The EEO Com at NPS.
He was a true genteleman and scholar.
Our Heros are fast disappearing.

Wilma and family,

I was sad to learn of Bill's passing. Bill was a friend and mentor to me when I was a young faculty member at NPS. He was a man of high character and a fine role model who only saw good in people.

I will always value his friendship. My condolences to the Campbell family.
