Hello, I just came across this today.
If this is the Woody Price that I knew in Ottawa Junior High and High School, for a great many of those years, he was my best friend. I was his substitute Ottawa Herald paper carrier for part of the north side of Ottawa. We were in Boy Scout Troup 72 for a number of years. He was Patrol Leader and I was Assistant Patrol Leader.
We last saw each other in early August, 1967, as he and his family had moved to the KC area in 1965. He drove down to Ottawa and stopped by my house. My cousins, my brother, Woody, and I all went swimming at what was then Ottawa’s brand new municipal swimming pool. I am seventy now myself, with stage 4 stomach cancer, and find my self looking back over my life.
He was a tremendous influence. I looked up to him greatly. He was always kind and understanding with me. Class of 1969.
