Carroll Campbell, former Governor of the State of South Carolina, died on the morning of 7 December 2005.
It is a loss, as he was widely recognized as both a popular and effective Governor.
I've always felt a connection to him, partly because of his success as a Governor, but mostly out of a touching gesture from him one year.
He and I attended the same high school,The McCallie School. I remember getting cards from him, and it certainly seemed special and made an impression at the time.
Gov. Campbell had been suffering from Alzheimer's for the past six years. A terrible disease, he was mercifully spared the final effects.
Go in peace, Governor... you are missed.

I am sorry to hear it. Did not know he had Alzheimer's. Wonder how old he was?
