Former F.B.I. Agent Is New Campus Policeman By DEBBIE MOUL "FREEZE! F.B.I." And then what? — the tall, lanky man in blue saunters casually up to you and with a devilish grin on his face says "Hey! What can I do for Ya?" His name is Frankcel Woodson, but you can call him Frank. His beat — Ixmgwood College. Sure he was a special agent for the F. B. I., so what is he doing here? Well, sit back, relax, and listen to Frank's life story. It all started in Cumberland County when Frank graduated from Luther Porter Jackson High School. In June, 1963, he enlisted in the Air Force and went to Albany, New York. From New York, he went to Lackland, Texas for eight weeks of basic training. Frank was stationed for two years in Kansas City, Missouri and in Spangdehlem, Germany for two
years. In June of 1967, Frank said goodbye to the Air Force and went to work for J. Edgar Hoover in November. He had fourteen weeks of training in Quantico, Virginia. He was sent to the Academy as a police instructor. He started out as a fingerprint technician, "latent examiner". While living in Washington, D.C. and working for the F.B.I., Frank attended night school at Strayer College in D. C. It was here that he obtained a B.S. degree in Business Adminstration. In 1970, he entered the Public Relations field for the F.B.I. And after eight years, Frank made it to the top. He was now a Special Agent for the F.B.I., or 'G-man" as they prefer to call themselves. This only lasted for a year for v .*ank spoke his final "Freeze! F.B.I." and came home to
Cumberland County and to Ixnigwood. Frank Woodson is down-toearth, witty and most important, himself. He is married and the father of two girls, ages 7 and 15 months. Says Frank of his girls, "They're tough!" to which one might reply, "just like their daddy." He plays tennis, football, baseball, handball, racketball — a truly versatile athlete. He enjoys music and likes to dance. Says Frank "I like people. I like working with people. And I get along with just about everybody." He likes to treat people the way he wants to be treated. If you see someone in need, give them a helping hand. So go up and introduce yourself and the next time someone asks if you know Officer Woodson, you'll be able to say, "Oh, yea! Frank, the Old Friendly Cop'."
