Dianne, We just heard about Mike. Wish we had more time at the lake to get to know both of you. The hand full of times I got to talk with him I found Mike to be fun and relaxing. He will be missed. We wish you the best.

Dear Woods Family: "Big Dawg" was one of the happenings that made Georgia Football watching interesting through the years.Members of the team always appreciated those so enthusiastic. He will always bea part of Bulldog Lore. We always enjoyed Super Dog standing on a rock saluting when we left the stadium in the 60's. I was ahead of Big DAwg at AHS. He will be missed by all who knew him. You will be in my thoughts and prayers in the coming weeks!
