3865...Is Your Name Phil Campbell?

ABC News reports that "In its time of need, the town of Phil Campbell, Ala., is receiving help from people from around the globe who share its name.

The small town, made up of 300 families, was named after a British railroad engineer who gave the town its start in the 1880s. Most years, Phil Campbells come from around the world to meet in Alabama in June, but with half of the families there left homeless from devastating tornadoes, and 26 people killed, it just didn't feel like time for a party."

This year the Phil Campbell's of the world are in Namesake, Bama to help rebuild the commmunity.

Tres cool.

Plus no name tags needed.
