  General Notes:

Served in some of the great battles of WWII

Woodrow lived most of his life in CA, so we were not around him after the war. According to Claudie, Daddy and Uncle Ray Fleming thought he was one of the finest men who ever lived.

I remember seeing him one time, seems like he and his wife had come from California to see U. Noah & A. Pearl.
