Dr. Campo, one of the BPEI's best and brightest residents and an accomplished vitreoretinal surgeon, , died in a tragic automobile accident in September 1992, near his Scottsdale, Arizona home.

Randy graduated from Pennsylvania State University and Jefferson Medical College. He entered the BPEI residency program in July 1978 and quickly established his lifelong reputation of superior intellect, tireless work ethic and true compassion for his patients. His residency interest in retina/vitreous culminated in a one-year fellowship in vitreoretinal disease and surgery at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee under the guidance of another BPEI alumnus, Thomas Aaberg, ,M.D.

Randy then moved to the warmer climes of Phoenix, Arizona, joining BPEI graduate Richard Flindall MD at Retina Consultants Southwest. Randy was activein the teaching programs at Mayo Clinic Scottsdale, where he ran the retina service, as well as teaching at the Maricopa County Medical Center and Veterans Hospital in Phoenix, at which locatinos he helped train visiting residents from UCSF, Mayo Clnic Rochester and Washington University - Barnes Hospital.

Randy's dedication to ophtahlmology was balanced by his keen and acerbic sense of humor, and an un canny ability to find mirth in many of life's more absurd situations. Overarching all of this, however, was his extreme humility. Quiet and reserved, he made waves and moved mountains by dint of his actions, not words. His patients and we miss him greatly, and hope that this lectureship will keep alive the flame of his own passion for ophthalmology for a longtime to come.
