Panola College Foundation Receives $10,000

 

 
 
On Monday, May 22, 2017, Harley Wilson, Nat Lankford, and Charlotte Woods
presented the Panola College Foundation with a check for $10,000 towards
the Charlie Woods Memorial Scholarship.
 
Charlie Woods graduated from Carthage High School in 1972.  He attended
Panola College before entering a Ranch Management Program at Texas
Christian University. Following graduation Charlie worked most of his life
in the oilfield.
 
Charlie was an avid fisherman. His love of the sport began at an early age
when he fished with his “Papaw” Spurlock. Charlie fished the FLW Wal-Mart
Bass Fishing League where he won first place in one of the tournaments on
the Texas Tournament Trail. He also took first place in the Texas Oilman’s
Tournament and the Louisiana Oilman’s Tournament. He and Harley Wilson also
won a boat at the Toledo Bend Classic tournament. Charlie was also a member
of the Carthage Bass Fishing League. He particularly loved the fishing
trips with his friends to Lake Falcon in South Texas on the Texas – Mexico
border. His plans were to eventually travel to Brazil to fish for Peacock
Bass.
 
The Charlie Woods Memorial Scholarship was established five years ago by
his friends and family to help sophomore students enrolling in Panola
College’s petroleum technology program. Scholarship funds are raised
through the annual Charlie Woods Memorial Fishing Tournament held on Toledo
Bend each May.
