I know General Campbell’s father——retired Air Force Master Sergeant Ernest Campbell. He lived next door to me in “Sewer Soon City” (Suisun City, CA).
Gen. Campbell grew up in Fairfield and attended Fairfield High School. He tried to get into the AF academy but they turned the General down.
Gen. Campbell is half Japanese-—his mom worked over at Napa Airport for IASCO, the JAL pilot training facility.
