James L. Campbell Jr., 36C, 40M, retired urologist in Orlando, Fla., is now a master craftsman of period furniture reproductions. Dr. Campbell works on his pieces every day, sometimes for up to six hours. His favorite woods are walnut, mahogany, and cherry. Most of his finished works go to family members. The piece of which he is proudest is a reproduction of a Newport block front desk by Goodard and Townsend. The originals were made in the 1770s, and only four remain. Most of these are housed in museums. The last one purchased sold for several million dollars. Dr. Campbell crafted his desk from mahogany and decorated it with brass handles, trimmings, and carved wooden shells. With 15 drawers, it took him about three months to complete. He is a member of the Central Florida Woodworkers Guild, and V.J. Taylor's book Period Furniture Projects is dedicated to Dr. Campbell, "one of the finest nonprofessional cabinetmakers I know."

Daniel C. Martin, 68C, 72M, has taken up competitive paintball and has even won a sportsmanship award along the way. Playing for Nervous Rex as a defensive center, in 1997 he helped win the North Alabama novice division tournament and an open division tournament in Jonesboro, Ark. His son Adam also plays. Just what is paintball? From what we can gather from Dr. Martin's explanations, participants make their way across a designated area, carrying guns that hold canisters of paint. The goal of the game is to avoid being splattered with latex. The issue of Paintball Sports International that Dr. Martin shared with us shows a player dressed in psychedelic camouflage, dotted with wounds of paint.

In 1990, he and his wife moved to Mississippi, where he began a practice in Booneville and Corinth. Dr. Romaine learned of his liver cancer the day after Christmas, 1997. Shortly thereafter, he and his wife spent a couple of weeks in New Orleans with his former Emory roommate, Theodore J. Borgman, 63M, and his wife, Sandra. Dr. Borgman said his friend came to peace with his impending death by submitting himself to the Lord's will.

An avid duck hunter (often calling it his "second religion"), he was a lifetime sponsor of Ducks Unlimited. He was also a staunch conservative, active in state politics, and was a member of Christ Episcopal Church in Chattanooga. "Charlie left a world made better by his presence," Dr. Borgman said. "He died with a wish to live longer but with the certain expectation that a better life lay before him." |
