• Notes

  Danny loves to ride his Harley Davis Mortorcycle. He used to have a side business of taxerdirmy. His hobbies were/are: Hunting, fishing, watching old western movies and spoiling his only granddaughter. When he was a young man, he had an artistic talent of drawing. (Research):Daniel Aaron Wood, a former resident of Augusta, Georgia now residing in Banks County, GA on May 26, 1978 won a 45-minute tug-of-war with a 20-pound, 6-ounce Savannah River hybrid catfish that turned out to be a new world record for this species. He cast a 3/8 oz. white Dragon Fly bucktail of the butterbean variety into the swirling waters below what is known as the old City Lock and Dam above Augusta, recorded his catch in the same area where the previous record fish had been caught, one year and 24 days. Danny used a Mitchell 300 spinning reel, 20-pound Stren line and a Daiwa rod, and "my right arm was worn out from all that pulling," he said happily. His fish was officially identified as a hybrid and weighed in Monday by Hamption (Bill) Williams of Abbeville, SC, a fisheries biologist with the South Carolina Wildlife and Marine Resources Department. The fish, also, will become the official South Carolina state record, according to Williams. From The Augusta Chronicle Newspaper, Augusta, GA. Dated Thursday Morning, June 1, 1978. Page 7C Daniel Aaron Wood served in the U. S. Army and was stationed overseas in Germany during 1970. ---------------------------- Description: Daniel Aaron Wood died Aug 11, 2008 in Banks County, Georgia on the way to work. Killed in a motorcycle accident on the way to work on August 11, 2008 at 6:00 am. Five "illegal aliens" were speeding and slammed into the back of Danny. Danny flew back hitting the car windshield and flew over the hood 150 feet and landed on the left shoulder of the highway, breaking his neck. Two of the "illegal aliens" ran into the woods, they were never caught. The driver was charged and spent two days in jail. The authorites found pot in the vehicle which was owned by a contractor in the vincinity. The men in the car had no driver's license and no known addresses. To this day they still aren't charged. My sister-in-law is going after the contractor who loaned these people his car. It will take years before anything is settled. This is a terrible tragedy that would not have happened if we had real statesmen leading this country instead of the politically corrupt folks in Washington today.
