His Atwood Fly Reels are rare collectibles amongst the fishing antiques buffs, and command huge sums. Bible is in rough shape (hey...it's from 1841...) but contains valuable genealogical info on Leonard Atwood, Maine's version of Thomas Edison!"

The Hickory Daily Record <www.hickoryrecord.com> 7 Jun 2009 James "Buzz" Atwood HICKORY - James "Buzz" Atwood quietly passed away Sunday, May 31, 2009, at Catawba Valley Medical Center in Hickory. Born April 13, 1934, in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, Buzz was the only child of William and Harriet Atwood. He discovered his talent for singing while attending Euclid High School in Euclid, Ohio, and often performed with a local band, patterning his style after Frank Sinatra. Buzz learned to pilot airplanes while in high school and was a volunteer for several years at the Cleveland Air Races, parking the planes before and after each event. In 1952, he was accepted at Southwestern Louisiana Institute in Lafayette, La., and occasionally attended classes. More often than not, he could be found bowling, absorbing the exciting Louisiana culture and music, and again singing with a jazz band. In 1998, he reconnected with a member of that jazz band and had the opportunity to perform in a Burbank, Calif., night club. Buzz joined the Army in 1954 and was stationed in Bad Aibling, Germany. He was assigned to the 328th Army Security Agency (ASA) Company of the 312th ASA Battalion. His main responsibility was to intercept and translate communications, often sent in Morse code. Later he would tell stories of how the soldiers in his company were the first to hear the German invasion of Hungary and alerted the military powers to that event. While stationed in Germany, Buzz continued to sing and perform and won the All Army European Entertainment Contest for Vocal Soloists. This award sent Buzz across Europe to sing and entertain the U.S. troops. Medical problems began to appear after he returned to the USA. He was diagnosed with macular degeneration in his early 30s, which would quickly deprive him of the central vision in both eyes. Determined to live a full life, even though legally blind by Social Security standards, Buzz enrolled in Kent State University in Kent, Ohio, where, after attending a play, decided, "I could do that!" He convinced the Kent State theater director to allow him to audition even though it meant Buzz had to memorize the entire play. >From 1958 to 2002, he acted in and/or directed plays in Ohio, Florida and many cities in North Carolina and returned to Kent State for one season as an Artist-in-Residence. His best-known role in the Hickory area was Tevye in Hickory Community Theater's 1980 and 1990 productions of "Fiddler on the Roof." Others will remember Buzz as Santa, a role he played for almost 30 years for private and public events. Buzz graduated from Kent State with a master's degree in history and moved, with his first wife, Kristine Skogland, to Pahokee, Fla. He taught history for several years and sponsored the Pahokee High School's first drama club. In 1969, the Social Security Administration trained a test group of eight individuals - each visually impaired - to work as Service Representatives in the Miami, Fla.'s Social Security office. The concept had been suggested by a blind, double amputee who had worked for the Social Security Administration in Florida and who convinced the government that people with vision problems could be very productive. Admitted to that test group, Buzz became one of the country's first blind Social Security Service representatives. In 1971, he helped staff the first Social Security Telephone Service Center in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., and, in 1973, was promoted to a Social Security claims representative. Buzz accepted a Social Security claims representative position at the Hickory office and quickly became involved in the community theaters in Hickory, Valdese, Newton and Lenoir. His vision impairment and the need to memorize entire plays never slowed his zest for the stage. He received 6 Willy Awards from the Lenoir theater and 7 Kay Awards from the Hickory Community Theater and was a cast member of the Hickory Community Theater's 1993 N.C. Theater Conference's Best Play, "I'm Not Rappaport." He retired from the Social Security Administration and began teaching theater appreciation, speech and storytelling classes at Catawba Valley Community College using tape-recorded texts and/or readers to prepare for his classes. A massive stroke that left him almost speechless and unable to use his right side finally ended his acting and teaching career in 2002. After the stroke, Buzz enjoyed others' performances and became an even more avid movie fan. Buzz is survived by his second wife, Paula Smith Atwood of the home; a son, William Charles Atwood of Winston-Salem; a stepdaughter, Malindi Edwards Powers of Charlotte; cousins; and many, many friends. To honor his wishes ("Skip the funeral and just have a party to celebrate my life!"), he was cremated and his ashes will be scattered in the Sequoia National Forest among the redwoods he loved. The world is invited to a "Celebration of Buzz Atwood's Life" on June 27, 2009, from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Catawba Valley, 833 Fifth St., SE, Hickory. Please bring a covered dish or soda to share, stories, memories, photos of Buzz, and your musical instruments to share special songs. If you are unable to attend but would like to share in the celebration by sending photos, condolences, memories or "Buzz" stories, feel free to e-mail them to buzzetta@charter.net or mail them to 506 Seventh St., SW, Hickory, N.C. 28602. Buzz suggested that perfect memorials for him would be your favorite charity, your local community theater, or to take your family to a show! Condolence messages may be sent to www.jenkinsfuneralhome.net. The Atwood family has entrusted arrangements to Jenkins Funeral Home and Cremation Service in Newton.

The Desert Sun <www.mydesert.com> 2 Jun 2009 Richard Atwood Richard Atwood passed away peacefully at his home in Desert Hot Springs, Calif. on May 25, 2009 after a long illness. He is survived by his wife, Carol; brother, Robert; three daughters, Shelly Robin, and Suzanne; three step-children; ten grand children; and one great-grandchild.

Dick was born in Greensboro, NC on March 22, 1925, grew up in Worcester, Mass., and joined the US Navy near the end of World War II. He graduated from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in 1948 with a degree in Electrical Engineering. He worked for Boeing Aerospace for over 30 years including work on Apollo 4, Saturn 5, and AWACS. He became ham radio operator while serving in the Navy as a Communication Specialist and it remained a lifelong interest. Flying was another interest and in the late 1960's he flew his Bellanca airplane across country while moving from Florida to Seattle, Wash. Dick was active in several boating organizations and served as Commander of the Agate Pass Power Squadron. He was an active volunteer with the Red Cross and a National Disaster volunteer. After retirement, extensive international travel, long motor home and boating trips became an integral part of life. The family wishes to send a special thanks to everyone at Hospice of the Desert for their loving care over the past two years. Internment will be at Riverside National Cemetery. The Memorial service will be at Riverside with a Celebration of Dick's Life at the family home. Remembrances may be made to Worcester Polytechnic, Worcester, MA or a charity of your choice.

*I have no connection to the seller, I present this as informational only. **http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280358535172* * Up for auction are 12 Original Homestead and Allotment land certificates for members of the [Coleman and Lizzie] Atwood family of the Choctaw Indian Nation. These are NOT COPIES and are from the Department of the Interior. 11 of these certificates are given through Indian blood and one through intermarriage. The certificates all date from between 1903 and 1905 with much of the land being valued over $500 which in that day was a great deal of money. * * I was told I would be better off selling these separately but after thinking about it I believe that this would be better if sold and kept together since they have always been in the same family together and they were all given to members of the same Indian family originally. There is a lot of information in these certificates and instead of filling up several pages I in this listing I have taken many large pictures below with all of the information that should be easy to see. If any of this is unclear in the pictures please let me know and I will clear it up and add more pictures. At one point these were kept folded but now they are kept in protective sleeves in a nice folder and will be shipped accordingly. *
