Naaman Johnson Woodland, Jr.

Dr. Woodland was a friend and fellow history enthusiast. He encouraged me in my studies and my interest in history many times. I knew him to always be friendly, warm and caring. It was my pleasure to know him. Please accept my sympathy.

Our neighbor and friend, Mr. Woodland made a positive lasting impact on so many people! He will be missed by so many! My thoughts and prayers are with the family!

Sincerely, Mary Pat and the rest of the Bleuel family

My memories of Naaman are rich and indelible. I do not think first of service on innumerable committees and councils at Lamar, but of art and music, of shared membership in First United Methodist Choir and Beaumont Interfaith Choir and of impromptu Monday morning discussions about any opera I had somehow managed to miss on NPR the previous Saturday afternoon. I think of the first flowers of his camellia bushes each season which he shared with many of us at Lamar, I think of my neighbor, and I think of my friend. Naaman was a dear man greatly to be missed.

Naaman is a model of a life well-lived. He contributed so much to Lamar University and Beaumont. Our sympathy to his family.

My thoughts and prayers are with Phillip, Cindy, Ryan and the rest of the family.

Dear Mary and Family, Our lives have been connected with you and Naaman for many years. We attended yours and Naaman's wedding and John delivered your children. We feel as though we are almost family. Naaman taught me history at Lamar. He was a wonderful teacher _ A great asset to Lamar University and to the whole community. He was our great friend and we loved and admired him . I regret that we cannot be there for his service.

It was an honor to know such a brilliant man.

I am so sorry to hear about Mr. Woodland . The short time I knew him he taught me a lot about opera.and so much more. He loved his family and was so proud of his wife. He will be missed .
