Colin Campbell was presented the Medal for Meritorious Conduct by then--Governor General Ray Hnatyshyn. He received the medal for saving his sister's life. Campbell, 17, said he spent a few minutes just chatting with Hnatyshyn who was trying to make the recipients feel at ease. The Embro resident says he him-- self was calm. "I really didn't think I did much, a couple of guys in the rescue boat did more." Colin Campbell Those guys were Doug McKenzie and Derek Innis who came to the rescue when the Campbell boat tipped And that s where the story ended happily for Campbell and his sister Lesley, and why Camp- bell received the scouting honor. "I was out sailing at Fanshawe (Lake) with my sister and the boat dumped while she was on the tra- peze,'~'.~ recalls Campbell' of that September 1993 day when they were out on the 500 pounds, 18-foot Y Flier. His sister. fell under the front sail --- the jib -- a rope caught around her neck and the boat turned on top of her. ' "I swam around the front of the boat, picked the front of the boat up and started yelling for help until someone came. Nothing special," says Campbell. It was race day at the lake so the people in the rescue boat were there in 1% minutes, he says His sister was unconscious, likely be- cause she was under the water for at least a minute. Camp bell has been in the scout- ing movement for 13 years, mostly in Embro, he says. Now he helps lead the Embro Scout troupe. He's stayed in it over the years because his friends are in it, his mother is a cub leader, and now because they also need leaders.
