To the Art Campbell Family:

Deepest sympathy. Art was a terrific person, smart man, and a valuable news source during his stint here in Atlanta. As a reporter he was very helpful to me in explaining some of the inner working of the Atlanta City government.

I was very sad to learn of the passing of Art Campbell. I was a friend and colleague of Art's for many years since his work with the Southern Regional Council in the late 1960's. I also worked with him when he was at FmHA/USDA, HAC and the Federal Home Loan Bank board.

He was a personal friend and mentor as well as a great supporter of the Federation of Southern Cooperatives and the Panola Land Buyers Association in west Alabama.

He was a very inspirational supporter of our work for a lifetime.

We will keep Art in our thoughts and prayers.
