Has Many Interests

Mrs Terri Campbell, the wife of the president of Lions International, Dr. Walter Campbell, is one woman who is, wholeheartedly behind the Lions International programme peace through individual understanding.

“I firmly believe that anyone who can do something for peace should be doing it,” she said in Christchurch yesterday. An alert, charming woman, Mrs Campbell describes herself as “civic minded” and said her main interest is people and helping to create understanding and goodwill among them. Mrs Campbell has always taken an active interest in social work. She graduated from North-Western University in Chicago with a B.Sc. in social work and went on to do postgraduate study at Chicago

University. Later she worked for several years in family welfare as a case analyst. In addition Mrs Campbell has a degree in psychology and short-story writing. She also has an interior decorating licence, and her major hobby is antiques. “My home in Miami is full of antiques,” she said. During the last 20 years Mrs Campbell has built up 13 complete sets of antique china which includes early American, Spode and Crown Derby.

Pottery is another love and Mrs Campbell has many fine European pieces which she said were ideal for the outdoor entertaining which is a feature of her life in Miami. Mrs Campbell said her interest In antiques developed from interior decorating and her home is furnished in traditional style with French, early American and Victorian pieces. She inherited an early Spode dinner set which is so old that the manufacturers no longer have the pattern in their archives.

This was a disappointment ias she had hoped to have ; some matching cups made to i replace those which had been broken oyer the years.
