Dr. Eric Brodin, a professor emeritus at Campbell University and a longtime friend of liberty and the John Locke Foundation, died Saturday while swimming at Kure Beach near Wilmington. Our own Dr. Roy Cordato succeeded Eric as the Lundy Chair at Campbell. Eric wrote several articles for Carolina Journal in the early 1990s and remained active in civic and public-policy affairs in the Dunn area and statewide. He?ll be missed.
