Just a Quick Note... is the memoir of John Campbell, spanning a life that began in colonial Ceylon and wound its way through ice hockey rinks and chemistry labs, a career with Unilever, the building of a family, and the bright and bittersweet chapters of later life. The title itself — casual, understated, quintessentially him — sets the tone for a story told with warmth and quiet wit. From the boy who built rockets to the man who navigated city lights and family milestones, John reflects on a life shaped by the people around him: his parents and sisters, his late wife Brenda, his children Stuart and Beccy and their partners, and his grandchildren Dotty and Gil. The final chapters turn to retirement, loss, and a return to Scottish roots — and close with a lasting legacy and honest reflections on what a life well lived really means. Written as a gift to the generations who will carry his story forward, this is a memoir that doesn't shout but lingers, like a quick note left on the kitchen table that turns out to say everything that matters.
