Candy
remembers Nov 22, 1963. When that moment was crystallized in her mind, she was
sitting in study hall, maybe the cafeteria, talking with Bob
Campbell.
She learned not only that Pres. Kennedy had been shot, but that Bob was a
regular all around
nice guy.

Referring
to the 1964 article on the high jump: "As for the 7 foot thing absolutely
he made it as a matter of fact he jumped 7'3" in a non sanctioned meet
and
many
times in his back yard where his dad had erected a high jump pit for him to
practice on.
But the 7' was in an official Section 4 meet in Utica or
Schenectady not sure which? He held the record for youngest ( 16 ) ever to
jump 7' and he used the
FASBERRY
FLOP to do it."

I
found Judy Mcmullin through Tom Ratliff class of '64.

Sharon
Garvey and I were really close in Jr High...but then I started to go to high
school part time and work part time and dating Bob with every minute
that
was left.
Fridays after school he would ride the bus home with me stay at my
house until my mom or dad would take him home to Appalachin Glann Rd. I think
it
was.
In the summers, Bob was involved in track and baseball ( Connie
Mack League ) So my mom and dad were the car pool/ transportation for these
summer
events.
I remember Cany Vanderlip was in Vestal Voices with me and Candy
Roos and Bob Cambell, Ardyce Tanner, and Avarill Clarke

I
don't think you would suprise anyone by telling them I had a crush on BOB. We
were an item from 7th grade to 1964 when Andy Knapp deciced she
wanted
the JOCK....and got him, she did.

The
last time I saw Bob was on TV, when Penn State was in the Orange Bowl (1968?).
As I remember it, he ran 80 or 90 yards for a
touchdown
to win the game at the very end, but it was called back on a penalty.
So on the next play he did it again. Storybook stuff, but I actually wasn't that surprised. In
Vestal, we'd seen him do it before.
I sometimes wonder if Bob's celebrity everbothered him. Everybody
thinks it would be great to be a star (and he was a star), but that eant
people
didn't treat him like they did other people.
I was no exception. Bob offered me a ride home one time, and we
chatted about this and that, but I was so surprised that he had offered
me
a ride that I probably was babbling the whole time.

Some
of my best times were when we had a fake ID and bought some Booz and went out
cruzing with Bob Campbell.

THere
was a newspaper article in our local paper at the end of 1999 about all the
Sports Names over the years; Bob Cambell was mentioned and it even told
where
he was living and working now, with pics ... I hope I saved it, I'll look
around.

Bob
Campbell was at the reunion. He was with his second wife (Ann Knapp and he had
divorced earlier). Joanne thinks he is coaching at a boys school in
Maryland.
