On the recordDecember 7, 2005
it is my sad responsibility as dean of the South Carolina delegation to advise the House, and especially those who served here in the 1980s, that Carroll Campbell, who served here from 1978 to 1986, died yesterday. He served here for a period of nearly 10 years, went on to two successful terms as Governor of South Carolina, and died at the age of 65 after a long battle with Alzheimer's. Those who served with him remember him as a very, very able friend, a wonderful Member of this institution, and someone of whom, as South Carolinians especially, we are all proud. I know that everyone who knew him especially will want to send their prayers and best regards to his wife Iris and their two sons. ____________________
