<div>The small part I recall of the late Russell Campbell is this: ( this will need some help from others.) </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Russell and Kaye Hayes were assigned to work around the northern part of Australia- around Darwin and to some of the Aboriginal Mission stations- Russell used to wear sandals that he had made out of used tyres. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>When Russell was living in the Sydney House, he composed both the Contemplation song- ' Come walk with Francis' and the Being song. The music would be blaring out loudly most of the day while he wrote his poetry. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Russell always wore a very simple grey 'safari suit' . He had made it himself. He wore his dark, wavy hair shoulder length. </div>
<div>When he was assigned to the children's structures, the children always did interesting and different activities- e.g..,climbing trees. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Grace and peace,</div>
