MAGAZINE 3 EDITOR’S INBOX SPRING 2019 Nonprofit Organization U.S. Postage PAID PPCO Post Office Box 567 Buies Creek, NC 27506 www.campbell.edu ED & MILLIE: The Spring 2019 cover story on Norman Adrian "Ed" Wiggins and Millie Harmon Wiggins looked much different in the planning room. The original idea was to tell the story of President Wiggins' legacy Ed & Millie at Campbell, a legacy that spanned over 40 years. But an afternoon spent with "Miss Millie" (just months before her death) changed that plan, and for the better. It became a love story more than anything, providing insight about the couple that even those closest to them hadn't heard before. We're happy to report that Millie is featured once again in this edition as one of 14 Women Who Shaped Shaped Campbell — Page 42.
