My Fraternal Grandparents

Helen Odeel Weekley Wood, born 1920 and George Raymond Wood, born 1898.

Fun Facts: Grandmother has a park in Mobile named after her on Mobile Bay and is is something of a philanthropist in the state of Alabama. Grandfather, who died before I was born, owned G.R. Wood and Company which took on such engineering projects as wiring the Bankhead tunnel and the Auditorium in downtown Mobile. He also had many patents including the "Wood Compass."

Offspring: They had a daughter, Evelyn Wood (Young) and a son, Norman Edward Wood
