I posted this on the facebook wall of the article above:
[quote] [In the early 80's I called Will Campbell on the phone from my Grandmothers house in Ga. Frat boys and other clowns were having a circus on National TV calling for the Execution of John Roach in my homestate of S.C.; Roach had an IQ of around 60 best I remember. I had learned about Will at Furman and by that time read Brother to a Dragonfly and several Marshall Frady tributes to the man who was already a legend. I was pretty emotional when Campbell answered the phone. I told him why I was calling and he could sense my state. He said: "Hell Son, get a grip; the State of S.C. has its mind made up and there's not a **** thing I can do!". Great man. Was an honor to know personally the Furman Chaplain who read Campbell's eulogy for Marshall Frady at Frady's funeral in 2004./quote]
