My Sympathy to the Cambell family from Frank and Judy Satterlee (Denver). Cambell's flowers provided flowers at my father's funeral in 1963 and Tim and I were (and still are) friends.

Fred was my lifelong dear friend going all the way back to Cole School, Boise Junior High, Boise High, BJC and entering the Army together via the draft. As a person, he was "the straightest arrow" I have ever known and I will miss him and his phone calls and messages greatly.
