report during family vacation
in the northern Rockies: Larry
(L.T.) Woody was awarded the
2013 Driving Fatherhood Award
by the Maternity Care Coali-
tion of Pennsylvania (MCC).
According to the MCC, “During
our Celebrating Fathers Golf
Classic, we recognize and honor
outstanding men and orga-
nizations that are advancing
the role of fatherhood locally,
regionally, and nationally. Since
2009, the Driving Fatherhood
Awards have honored more
than a dozen men throughout
Pennsylvania who have served
as role models for others, been
engaged in MCC’s work, and
have promoted fatherhood
through community initiatives
or sports.” Larry continues his
work as a case manager/parent
educator with Focus on Fami-
lies. He previously served as the
male involvement coordinator
at the Children’s Hospital of
Pennsylvania’s Early Head Start

ing writer for Newsworks.org
and the Philadelphia Tribune,
where he writes on a variety of
topics. Larry very modestly told
me, “Someone’s giving me an
award. Can you believe it?” Of
course we can, Larry. It is you,
after all. Congratulations and
well done!
