Following two years as an Army artillery officer, a long career in aircraft finance took Woody and his family all over the world from Saudi Arabia and the Middle East to Asia and Africa. Ultimately, Woody settled in Anaheim, Calif., rising through several corporations to vice president of aviation equipment at Bank of America, overseeing its worldwide operation.
A June 2000 retirement led to his Reno, Nev., years as managing director of his own aviation-consulting company and some parttime work with the Chamber of Commerce.
In addition to all that, Woody made it to 57 of 61 Reunions (more than any other classmate and more than most alumni), worked decades for the Alumni Schools Committee, and served ’59 as AG regional class agent, treasurer, and vice president.
Woody is sorely missed by all who knew him, and the class extends its deepest sympathies to his wife, Sybil; and daughter Sheryl.
