Judge Campanella by the numbers
Judge James Campanella was born and raised in Du Quoin where his parents, Carl and Lenora Campanella, ran a popular mom and pop grocery store known as Campanella’s (Campy’s) Market for 54 years. Carl was disciplined, but playful at the same time. I remember one time he got into it with a vendor (I think it was over potato chips) and the bill was “something” and one half-cent. Carl laid a penny on the butcher block, raised the meat cleaver over his head and WHAM!--split the penny in half. “Here! Take it.”
