Gregory Cameron

Hear ye hear ye, the "Law Guru" passed away on May 27th, 2023.
It has been a journey and I want to thank you all for your love and friendships over the years.
My years began in Greenville Maine on April 16th, 1954.
Although I spent a lot of summers in Greenville working at Harris Drug Store with my Grandmother Ida, I grew up in Trenton Maine. Son of R. Bruce Cameron and Arlene (Harris) Cameron. I graduated from MDI HS in 1972 and went on to Massachusetts College of Pharmacy, graduating in 1977.
I worked in retail Pharmacy for several years before needing a break from the piles of paperwork that has overtaken what we do.
Something many of you may not know, I decided to change careers and became a truck driver. My longest trip was Maine to California and back. I did this for about 3 years but a bit more local.
I decided I missed Pharmacy and took at job with the State of Maine as the state's Senior Pharmacy inspector which I did for 16 years. I traveled from the top of the state to the bottom. I have met some great people along the way, and I am sure there are a few that are glad I no longer do that job. During this time, I worked with the DEA and FDA and earned my certificate in drug diversion from the Maryland State police. I was also a Nationally Certified Healthcare Investigator.

In 2011 I met my wife, Darla. I not only was blessed with Darla but her sons Gregory and Brian along with their wives Tabby and Samantha. (Who gave us a few rugrats, Olivia, Sophia, Derek and Hailey that I love and adore that call me Papa). We sold my house in Chelsea and bought a house in Carmel and I began a new career at Husson University. My specialty (and favorite) ...Pharmacy Law! This is where I earned my nickname "Law Guru". What a great class. I did not realize how much I would enjoy teaching and getting to know our future Pharmacists. I tried to incorporate as much fun as I could with my sick sense of humor. Some of you got it...some of you did not. My apologies.
I turned my lectures and skills lab over to two dear friends. I knew they would do them justice. Thank you, Kelsey Snow and Jay Singletary.
I have received a few awards over the years. The two that meant the most to me was the "Bowl of Hygeia" (look it up) and the ones I received from the students. "Teacher of the Year" for 4 years (and I only had my BS degree). Both were a true honor and I thank you all.
That's the short version. Lots of great things happened along the way and I met some great people. I made a few mistakes, who doesn't. The screw ups made me stronger.
I will be leaving to join my mother, Arlene (Harris) Cameron and brother Lawrence who passed prior to my day. Along with several other family members.

I leave behind my Wife Darla, who can now travel at will.
I leave my dad, Bruce Cameron of Trenton and his wife Nancy.
My Brother Steve and Wife Mary of Surry and my sister, Lorri Cameron-Dow and husband Steve of Winterport all behind to clean up the mess.
Ileave my expertise in card playing to my dear friend Dick Dyer.
Don't forget to bring the cards with you when you come to see me later.
A special thank you to Cheryl Willis and Tina Urquhart for all your care these past few months.
There are so many more loved ones to mention but I really need to save money for Darla's trips. Till we meet again, love to you all.
