Mike Campbell:  

2/.24/2015 I am updating the story below because it has changed dramatically. After 7 1/2 years of marriage, my second marriage dissolved in April, 2013. Its dissolution hit me like a ton of bricks. I stayed in Pennsylvania for a year, trying to mend the marriage and sort things out. By April, 2014, it was clear there was no hope. I announced retirement plans for June, 2014. I moved to Madison, TN, in July to be near my son and his family in Gallatin, TN. It may have been one of the best moves of my life! I bought a house on a small private lake with a deck looking over the lake. I am near my two grandsons, with whom I have had an absolute blast during the last 8 months. I have celebrated both of their birthdays, Christmas, Thanksgiving, sports (including ice hockey!), and various other good times. I absolutely love it! My daughter got married in September and we celebrated in early November in Dallas. She lives there now working with the Dallas symphony. He works from home in the energy distribution business, doing things I really do not understand. Their combined new joy is a puppy. I am doing consultation work with a retirement center about their pastoral care, work with the St. Thomas CPE center and their CPE students and with the United Methodist Church doing things with their chaplains. I also do occasional things like souvenir photography at Titans games and company parties and hosting convention people who want to see Nashville. It is a very good life, not at all boring, and still professionally fulfilling. I absolutely made the right decision to retire and return to Tennessee. If you are coming to Nashville, let me know. There is a spare bed in the house and I can show you what a wonderful city this is. My best to all of you, Mike 2012 I haven't quite gotten the hang of all of this internet stuff. My children tell me about Facebook and MySpace but it just goes over my head. I live in Philadelphia where I work in a retirement center as the chaplain. ...Expand for more
