New Officials Wife
Is Sailing Enthusiast
Mrs. Joseph Campbell, the Former
Dorothy Stokes Bostwick, Keeps Busy
By Doisy Sheridon

Mrs. Joseph Campbell, wife OF
the newly-appointed member of
Atomic Energy Commission is
of medium height, has silvery
hair, dark blue eyes and a much
envied sun tan.
The former Dorothy Stokes
Bostwick's interests are as full
of contrasts as her coloring.
They range from knitting quiet
ly by the fire to sailing and trail
blazing.
Life is never dull and I am
never bored" says Dot Campbell
with a chuckle, "but I just don't
seem to have enough time to do
everything I want to-"
Mr.. Campbell was sworn in as
one of the five member board on
July %. His job, which was ex-
pedited by Presidential appoint
ment is for a two-year term.
Therefore Washington will have
a new and most attractive couple
in its midst.
From New York
They hale from New York City
and Cooperstown, N. Y. Mr..
Campbell is Vice President and
Treasurer of Columbia University
and is now on a leave of absence.
1t was in this capacity that
President EisenhowerS esteem
for Mr.. Campbell grew and di-
rected him to give the latter one
of the most vital jobs in our de-
fense efforts.
Mrs. Campbell is the eldest
member of the famed horsy
Bostwick clan. She put aside
her own interests in the four
legged beasts many years ago
and took up sailing. AS it turned
out this was smart move since
it is her husbands favorite sport
no "sea widow" she-but a
vital part to the whole opera
tion-the crew.
This nautical interest came at
an early age and could hardly
be avoided. Mrs. Campbell's ia
ther, the late Mr.. Albert c.
BoStwick was an ardent sailor
and when his daughter could
only claim six years ne slowed his
wife, daughter and son eboard
his 100-foot yacht, Vergemere,
and sailed across the Atlantic.
Their point of departure was
the Larchmont, Long Island
Yacht Club.
Stor Boot Sailing
The class of sail boat that Mrs.
Campbell has been most closely
associated with is the Star. She
raced them for many years on
Otsego lake in Cooperstown and
even the difficult Bermuda race.
Recently, however, she and her
husband have gone into a bigger
class and own a 36-foot auxiliary
cutter named the Brant.
They spend many week ends
(including this past one) on the
Brant which is now up on Long
Island, and they plan to bring
her down, here.
Between them they have
eight children, two children-in-
law. four grandchildren and two
more to make an appearance
shortly. When nose counting
gets in the teens in ones imme-
date family, mayhem is likely
to follow.
Long List
In this lineup of progeny there
are DR.. and Mrs. John Dean
and three offsprings of Glen
Cove, Long Island; Miss Dorothy
Sampson Smith, Mr.. w. T.
Sampson Smith, jr., Mr.. Fred
erick Campbell, Mr.. and Mrs.
Douglas Campbell and one child,
Mr.. Robert Campbell, Mr.. Alan
Campbell and Mr.. Colin Camp
bell.
Keeping up with this crew as
to their whereabouts, interests,
etc, practically takes a card in
dex. The three that drew a
most interested parental eye last
week end were Dotsie and Sam
Smith and Rob Campbell. They
each, with a Star boat, were
racing in the 18th District
Championship regatta at Lake
Sunapee, N. H., as representa-
tives of the Otsego Lake fleet.
There are five Stars in the fam
lily.
Shortly after the former
Suzanne Bostwick Smith mar
ried DR.. Dean, a furry of excite
ment came from his side of the
family. His mother wrote a book
about the trials and tribulations
of raising five children during
