Campbell Henderson ’48

Campbell died March 12, 2012, at his home in Las Vegas, surrounded by his devoted family and at peace.

Cam came to us by way of the Chateaugay (N.Y.) High School and a stint at Clarkson University. He transferred to Princeton and graduated with honors in mechanical engineering.

Cam’s career was in aeronautical engineering. He started at Langley Field, where he worked with NASA. He went on to spend 30 years at Bell Aerospace and ended his career at the Naval Air Development Center in Warminster, Pa. He retired in 1988.

Cam always was a jovial friend and loyal Princetonian. He was active in the Masonic Lodge, Toastmasters, the American Legion, and AIAA. Old-car restoration was a productive hobby, as was his love of poetry; the same can’t be said of poker or golf.

He is survived by his wife of 59 years, Jean; daughters Laurie and Cynthia; and four grandchildren. To them all, the class offers its condolences.
