I grew up with Greg Woodward. He’s two years my senior and was one of my brothers best friends. I knew him in and around my circle of friends all through my teenage years. He was an excellent friend. He’s a kind and giving and caring person. Take no joy in this people. This is a good man with a horrible problem. Sometimes people are just troubled. I’ve talked to a bunch of the old gang, and nobody can remember anything Gregg ever did that led anyone to think he had troubles. I know there are victims and I don’t want to disrespect them but in this case I think the victims are on both sides of the aisle.

I too am a former student of Gregg Woodward. He was a great teacher, and even after a half year has gone by, I’m still kindof shocked and saddened. I hope he gets better, because he is obviously suffering from a terrible sickness.

Thats my teacher.
He is still respected as one of the best scholars at FHS. However, his actions are more than sick and disturbing, but students miss him greatly.
