Hi Jean, Thank you for offering that beautiful poem ! And, thank you for telling us about another "vision" from years past ! There seems to be so many of them -- at least in the U.S. -- nowadays ! Some, in some very strange locations ! (news stories) I just thought I'd mention another Joseph CAMPBELL who is famous in the U.S., and possibly the world - for his research and writings on "world myths." I couldn't find a web page describing his "family tree," explaining "his roots," but I did find this biography: http://www.jcf.org/about_jc.php And, here is another page with information on him: http://www.answers.com/topic/joseph-campbell Here is a sentence on his parents. Some web sites mention a younger brother, and this site mentions a younger sister, but the following mentions only 2 children of Charles CAMPBELL. So, it seems some of the biographies have it wrong ! Joseph Campbell was the eldest of two children born to Charles Campbell, a merchant, and Josephine Lynch. He grew up in New York state where he enjoyed an upper-class upbringing, attending Canterbury Preparatory School in New Milford. He became fascinated by Native American culture as a child and devoured as much research as he could find on the subject. He was even admitted into the adult stacks at the local library. http://nvnv.essortment.com/josephcampbell_myr.htm And, this page mentions Joseph CAMPBELL's influence on George LUCAS: Campbell was discovered by a new generation when George Lucas based much of his screenplay for Star Wars (1977) on what he had summarized from The Hero With a Thousand Faces. The most successful film series in history was retelling the initiatory adventures that Campbell had so vividly described. Lucas acknowledged using Campbell's work and considered him a mentor. http://www.folkstory.com/campbell/scholars_life.html The LDS site has this family in Troy, NY, in the 1880 Census, where his grandfather is shown with Irish roots: http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA)
