Woody interviewed me for a job at MSC on the last day of 1969. From then to his retirement we worked closely together. I enjoyed his gruff manner, his intelligence, his competence and his goodness. He's a very good man.

To his family: I hope your memories and your knowledge that he continues to live in the next world are a significant consolation as you deal with his passing. Although his body wore out, as all our bodies must, the Woody you know and love continues to live.
