Mark Woods: Hometown Hero


See, here's what I admire about Florida Times-Union columnist Mark Woods: He's dedicated.

Woods' commitment to journalistic excellent was on display during his recent working trip to Haiti, where he (and photog Jon Fletcher) documented a medical team's efforts to help Haitians recover physically and spiritually from the effects of the January earthquake.

But Woodsy went above and beyond the call of duty by snapping today's BOVB photo: A Vols shirt-wearing Haitian driving a three-wheeled contraption. Mark demonstrated exceptional wherewithal just to notice the shirt, and razor sharp motor skills to retrieve his camera, frame the shot and capture the pic (I'm def putting you in for a Sparkplug Award, Bubba).

Good job all around, Mark. Orange Nation is grateful.

PS -- Oh and yes, because its driver is wearing an Orange shirt with Power T, the vehicles qualifies as an OV.
