Abstract
I have been asked by a former student if I would have any interest in speaking about my experiences with Dick Campbell as a colleague and friend during our time working together. My answer? Of course, I would be honored to speak about the unofficial “Mayor of Woods Hole.” We met shortly after I joined WPI. Dick’s interest in acoustics and my interest in music electronics began a working relationship that evolved into a years-long friendship. Our collaborations benefited (and annoyed) the students we co-advised. Dick was bedridden when we last worked together, but that was Dick—have laptop, will Skype. He never seemed to let the “little things” get in the way of anything that grabbed his interest. I will talk about some of the projects we worked on together, including acoustic modeling, identification of mosquito species by their acoustic signature, and others. Additionally, I’ll talk about the times I spent in his office at WPI, the “acoustics lab” in the Higgins garage, and his laboratory in Woods Hole—the World headquarters for “Bang-Campbell.” Thank you for your attention, and thank you Dick. You’ve been an extraordinarily influential person in my life and the lives of many others.
