Those who attended Carbon High probably remember him as a football, basketball and baseball coach. He will long be remembered as the man who taught students to keep their hands on the steering wheel at 10 and 2 while teaching drivers education. He also taught math for many years at CHS.
All of Woodward’s four children are graduates of CEU.
