I am so sorry to learn of Woody's death. He was a childhood friend of mine in Southport. The last time I saw him was on the shuttle flight from Boston to New York. I was at Wellesley. Woody literally had just learned that he had been accepted at the Harvard School of Architecture. He was just overwhelmed with astonishment and pride. We sat together in the plane and I took him home to my parents and my mother made him dinner. Please give my condolences to Mike as well as to you.
