TRIBUTE TO NANCY N. CAMPBELL
Mr. LIEBERMAN. Mr. President, I rise today to say a few words about
Nancy N. Campbell, who will be honored in my home State of Connecticut
for her outstanding contributions to historic preservation.
On May 26 at the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, Nancy Campbell will
receive the Harlan H. Griswold Award, the highest tribute which can be
given in Connecticut for work in support of the cause of historic
preservation.
Ms. Campbell is being honored for her leadership in local and State
preservation in Connecticut and for her effectiveness in promoting
preservation at the highest levels of national awareness.
As a resident of Middletown, CT, Ms. Campbell helped found the
Greater Middletown Preservation Trust and served as a member of the
Landmarks Advisory Board of Wesleyan University. She joined the board
of the Connecticut Trust for Historic Preservation, where she served a
term as chairman. For 6 years, she served as a member of the
Connecticut Historical Commission.
She continued in her commitment to preservation activities after
establishing a second home in New York, where she now serves as vice
chairman of the Preservation League of New York. While maintaining
homes both in Connecticut and New York, she was asked to serve on an
advisory committee to Connecticut's Department of Transportation, whose
goal was to create a set of design standards for Connecticut's beloved
and historic Merritt Parkway. This important document has been
completed and is being instituted.
Ms. Campbell now serves as vice president of the board of the
National Trust for Historic Preservation.
The landscape of Connecticut and indeed of the entire United States
will be the richer for her dedicated efforts to historic preservation.
