Today, February 9, is the 5th anniversary of the death of our dear, and much missed friend, Jim Campbell, founding member, Treasurer and ultimately Chairman of the National Tartan Day New York Committee, which organizes the Tartan Day Parade in New York each April.
Jim was born in America and extremely proud of his Scottish roots. He was 73rd Chief of the New York Caledonian Club, and Finance Committee Chairman of the Clan Campbell Society of North America. He embodied diplomacy, intelligence and tact, and was a shining beacon of graciousness and vision to all of us; we all admired him and the hotheads amongst us wished we could be more like him. So…think of him with warmth and affection and, if you’re a fan of a wee dram, please raise your glasses to the memory of our Jim Campbell.
