​ Dr. James Campbell Quick, Ph.D.

Professor Quick's Germanic grandfather, Dr. Faust, M.D. in order to distinguish the son from his father, James Francis Quick, gave "JimC" his family name.  Jim C’s Campbell and Faust lineages arrived in America about the same era, after the US Civil War in the 1860s. 

Jim C and his brother Jonathan pursued their grandfather’s professional passion though in their own disciplines. The brothers collaborating since mid-graduate school (Jim C in psychology and business, Jonathan in medicine and public health).  The brothers used 50% of the advance money on their first book to award their parents a 40th wedding anniversary trip to Scotland (the 1983 Clan Campbell trip), then went ahead and joined them on the trip.  Jonathan’s new wife Tina entered the high jump in the Inverarary Highland Games while Jim C entered the 2 mile foot race, quickly to learn how very competitive Games are in Scotland. 

Col. Quick has been an active member of the Clan Campbell Society (North America) since 1982, as Texas Commissioner, CCSNA Trustee, Clan Campbell Education Foundation Board of Directors and as the CCEF Vice President.

After the pandemic, which his brother anticipated as early as 2014, the Quicks (or "Campbell-Quicks" to the Brits) look forward to traveling once again.
