Don Woods Dies

Tuls TVMemories.com

If you grew up as a baby boomer in Tulsa, you know the name Don Woods and chances are--- somewhere---you have a Gusty weather cartoon.

Don Woods was Channel 8’s weather man from the time the station signed on in the 1950s until 1989 when he retired. Each night, he drew a Gusty, depicting the forecast, for some lucky viewer.

He died last night at the age of 84. He had been battling cancer.
