Hal Woods Heroic Flood Rescue That Shaped Athens History
In March twenty years ago Hal M Woods launched a tiny skiff into raging flood waters to rescue Hocking flood refugees at Herrold Place.

Though Woods has since passed, his daring act is celebrated as Athens most spectacular heroism and his legacy endures.
