Our Resident Spotlight this issue is Navy veteran Sherwood “Woody” Eastman Cook. Learn more about Woody and his adventures.
Sherwood “Woody” Eastman Cook has been a resident of the Del Tura Community since 2014. During the first week of their short visit to Del Tura, Woody and his wife Dorothy bought their home. Prior to coming to Del Tura, Woody served in the United States Navy for 31 years. He then worked for Battelle Institute of Technology for 15 years as liaison for projects Battelle was doing for the Navy.
Woody had an interesting career while in the Navy. He enlisted in 1969 with the intent of becoming an underwater demolition expert. During boot camp he met a fellow sailor who served in USN Submarine Force. That is where his life course changed. He continued to pursue Navy training to become a submariner. He served on a fleet ballistic nuclear-powered submarine for five years before being assigned to Commander in Chief Atlantic to work. There Woody’s dedication to the Navy and Submarine Force was noted and his command recommended Woody to the Navy Limited Duty Officer program. He was promoted in 1979.
His first assignment as an officer was La Maddalena, Sardinia, Italy. From there he applied to become a Navy Diving Officer but again life had other plans. While serving on the USS Howard W. Gilmore in La Maddalena, Woody was involved in a shipboard accident. The executive officer was killed, and Woody had internal injuries that required he be flown to Naples, Italy. He had surgery and quickly recovered. Still determined to be a diving officer, he worked hard to get in shape to pass the physical.
In 1980, Woody attended Navy hard hat and saturation divers training. After completion, Woody was selected to work in the Navy’s special projects group. It is a small area of experiments and development of new equipment for the Navy. During his years at the DEVGROUP (Navy Development Group), he was awarded several legions of Merit, for service of great significance to the government of the United States. The work the group did was of great importance to the security of our country. Woody was very proud to serve his country in any way he was needed.
Before retiring from the Navy, Woody served in the Pentagon working closely with the Navy department and congress to fund projects for the Submarine Force. From there Woody retired and pursued a civilian career that still supported the Submarine Force. Now Woody and his wife are enjoying the tennis and golf, entertainment, and friendship of life at Del Tura.
After recovering from Hurricane Ian, we started celebrating the holidays. Check out the ways we got together as a community at the end of last year.
Ian hit us hard in October, and we took a break from recovery efforts with a “cleanup cookout.” Then after the storm and its effects had passed, we celebrated! So long, Ian!
We also had Thanksgiving dinner together as a community. We enjoyed good food, company, and conversation! Thank you all for celebrating with us.
Have you noticed you always tend to sleep better in hotel rooms? White bedspreads may be the answer. White bedsheets create a feeling of luxury and serenity, making it easier for you to fall asleep. Consider switching your sheets to the classic color. You’ll be catching more ZZZs in no time.
Have you ever noticed that the same shirt looks great on someone else but not on yourself? Don’t worry, you are probably just a different color season! Read on for more about what that means and how best to dress.
Have you ever noticed that the same shirt looks great on someone else but not on yourself? Don’t worry, you are probably just a different color season! People are divided into Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter color palettes based on their natural features and coloring.
For example, if your skin tone has a warmer undertone, or you consider yourself a redhead, the odds are you’re an Autumn. Dressing in earthy tones like brown, dark green, or orange will help you shine! If your skin has a cooler, pale undertone, and you have dark brown or dirty blonde hair, you’re probably a Winter.
Dressing according to the right season can help you look your best all the time! Take these steps to determine your color palette, or you can do a quiz here!
