BDN reports on family honored with Fogler Legacy Award
The Bangor Daily News reported on the presentation of the Fogler Legacy Award to the Woodbrey family. In all, 27 members of the family, including spouses, have graduated from or are attending UMaine, according to a family history written by youngest son, James Woodbrey. On Saturday, the family was honored with the University of Maine Alumni Association’s award, which is presented occasionally to a family with a strong tradition of attending the university with at least three generations of graduates, according to the article. At least two of the family members must have a record of outstanding service to their alma mater, the Alumni Association, their community and/or their professions, the article states. Henry “Hank” Woodbrey, a dentist in Orono for many years, accepted the award on behalf of the family and his three surviving siblings.
