Kelly is the General Manager of Tubreaux Aviation at the Shreveport Downtown Airport and is also a WingWalker with Third Strike WingWalking (which means lots of travel to perform at shows across North America during Air Show Season). Kelly has also been an active member of the Commemorative Air Force where she worked turning wrenches restoring and maintaining WWII aircraft. Growing up as an Air Force brat Kelly understands the unique needs of the Air Force families/community and is excited to kick off this new year (which she’s positive will be the best year yet) with the Barksdale Spouses Club!!

Heather Campbell
Hi! I'm Heather Campbell and I'm your new Charitable Treasurer! I've been a military spouse for a little over 17 years. In that time we've been stationed at 7 different bases, lived in 6 different time zones, moved cross-country via car 4 times, adopted 2 cats, and gotten one tattoo (so far!). Whew!

Hi! I'm Heather Campbell and I'm your new Charitable Treasurer! I've been a military spouse for a little over 17 years. In that time we've been stationed at 7 different bases, lived in 6 different time zones, moved cross-country via car 4 times, adopted 2 cats, and gotten one tattoo (so far!). Whew!
When I'm not dealing with all that, I love reading, anything sci-fi and fantasy, learning to bake at extreme differences in elevation, going to Lunch Bunch to try new places for food, and adding books to my endless TBR list. I'll read them. I swear... Oh, and I really love sitting around drinking wine and talking about all the books I may or may not have read with other readers! Paradise.
I've been involved with spouses' clubs since our first base and have served on several boards in various positions. I think they are an amazing asset for spouses, and it's always one of the first things I go looking for when we get new orders. Where else can I walk into a room of complete strangers, declare that I just PCSed in, my spouse is deploying in three days, I don't have my HHGs yet, and I don't even know a good pizza place! And sure enough, at least five people will jump up to invite me for coffee, offer me their number so we can get together, give me all the suggestions of places to eat, and invite me to sit with them. Instant connection. Instant community.
I'm excited for this coming year with BSC and being a part of your 2023-2024 Board. I know we will have a ton of fun, as well as giving a little something back to the community. Best of both worlds.
Even better, I might get to be one of those people who welcomes a new spouse into the fold and makes them feel at home, even if Barksdale is far from home. See you at the next club event!
