An old friend Jerry Campbell, creator of Sqadron Shops and Squadrin Signal Publications, passed away last Friday leaving behind a legacy of bringing the modeling industry into our home by way of books and models. I was first introduced to Jerry and his wife Judy in the late 70's by my mother who was the sales manager for Sqadron Signal Publications in the late 70's through the early 80's. I would stare at his collection of books in awe and amazement while marveling at the amazing Don Greer artwork. He even gave me a few of his own "in action" books from time to time, probably in an effort to get my 7-yr old distracting self out of his office! He and his wife Judy were wonderful folks indeed with hearts of gold. RIP Jerry, thank you for bringing the hobby to our doorstep and book shelves. You will be sorely missed.
