The Campbell's of Austin, Texas |
I retired
completely in 1997 and, when we are not traveling, we make our home in
Austin, Texas. Paula and I moved to Austin in 1991 where I was involved in
Business Development for the State of Texas up until my final
retirement. We were married in 1955 following my graduation from West Point. We spent 26 years in the army and had the opportunity to live in many interesting places including, Virginia, Kentucky, Texas, New York, Kansas, North Carolina, Colorado, California, and Illinois. We also spent three wonderful years in Hanau, Germany. We raised five children who are all married and have given us four grand children and three great grand children. Our three sons live in Austin and our daughters live in Arkansas and Connecticut. We moved to Brownsville, Texas from Fort Sheridan, Illinois when I retired from the Army in 1981. We stayed there until I was invited to come to Austin to work in state government. |
Since
retiring, we have had the opportunity to travel both in the United States
and abroad. Our travels have taken us to Washington, DC; Chicago, IL; Cape
Canaveral; Augusta, GA; Niceville,FL; McDonald Observatory; Paduca,
KY; San Francisco and the Napa Valley; New England; Yellowstone Park;
Jackson, WY, Branson, MO; Arkansas and Connecticut. We also were able to spend time in Canada, Greece, The Greek Islands, Turkey, France, Tuscany and Rome, Italy. |
