Biography
Virginia (Ginger) C. Campbell passed away on Dec. 8, 2003 at her home in Soquel. She was
born June 9, 1929 in Vancouver, Washington to Clyde and Dorothy Copland. Ginger graduated
from Stanford University in 1951 with a BA in Special Education.
Ginger was secretary to University of California Chancellor Dean E. McHenry and in 1962-63
a member of the original team directed to establish a new campus of the University of
California at Santa Cruz. She left UCSC when her husband was transferred to Scotland for
four years. In 1967 she returned as administrative assistant to Chancellor McHenry until his
retirement in 1974 and subsequently served as Administrative Analyst for him as an Emeritus
Chancellor. She held other UCSC appointments with the Institute of Marine Sciences and the
Chemistry Department.
Ginger was a founding member of the Board of Directors of Friends of Long Marine
Laboratory; first newsletter editor of Long Currents; Honorary Life member of UCSC Arboretum
Associates; Representative on Soquel General Plan Review in 1968 and member of Save Soquel;
Past President and Board Member of Golden Gate Labrador Retriever Club, establishing their
Rescue Program in 1985.
She was a member of the San Jose Retriever Club, San Joaquin Labrador Retriever Club;
Monterey Bay Hunting Retriever Club; Labrador Retriever Club Inc; and the Labrador Retriever
Club of England.
Ginger's avocation along with her late husband Harold Donald Campbell, was the breeding,
training, exhibiting and judging of Labrador retrievers. Recognized nationally and
internationally, for more than three decades dogs carrying the Campbellcroft name, have
garnered the highest accolades, in beauty, performance, temperament and style. The
Campbellcroft legacy continues in Campbellcroft Labradors that have provided the foundation
for other breeders to build upon.
