Harold Bell Wood Jr.

Harold was my first supervisor at Dow Chemical in 1970. He was a very understanding person, and helped me get situated in my first job. During my first year, I was working outside in cold, rainy weather taking samples from a resin kettle. Harold met me inside the control room and asked (with a twinkle in his eye) did it ever get this cold in Illinois (where I spent two years in college). I said "yes, twice a year. Once in the fall when the temperature dropped below freezing and once in the spring when the temperature rose above freezing!" He will be missed, for sure.
