Bob was suffering from dementia, but as Paul referenced in his letter 2 Timothy 4:7, "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." Bob was born in July of 1937 to his parents, Reuel and Dorothy Campbell in Norman, Oklahoma.
TIAA is teaming up again with active TIers for the Annual TIAA/TI Charity Golf Tournament. The event is scheduled for Monday, May 16, at the Waterview Golf Club in Rowlett, TX, with a shotgun start at 1:00 p.m. Because TI has shifted its annual United Way Campaign to the spring, we have moved the Golf Tournament earlier in the year to support the campaign.
The Texas Bluebonnet (Lupinus texensis) has been the state flower of Texas since 1901 and holds a special place in any Texan's heart. They are hardy and rugged, yet beautiful flowers that blanket roadsides, pastures, and meadows across the state every spring.
The Hill Country and Blackland Prairie Ecoregions is the native range of Texas bluebonnets, but many Texans have planted bluebonnets far beyond that range.
