While Campbell has grown exponentially over the last six-plus decades, Bob Etheridge's travels have taken him all over the state and to Washington, D.C., where he served 14 years in the U.S. House of Representatives.
 
A native of Johnston County, Congressman Etheridge and his wife, Faye, have for the last 50 years made their home in Harnett County, where he has been a businessman, part-time farmer, and full-time public servant.
 
In the next installment of Tales from the Creek, Campbell Hall of Fame member Bob Etheridge talks with Stan Cole about growing up on the farm, his path to Campbell, then on to a career in business and public service.
