Biographical note:
Betsy (Betzi) Woodman (née Dekema) was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan in 1913. Writing under the name of Betzi Woodman, she began a career as a free-lance writer and journalist in 1953, and over the course of her career became an authority on the petroleum industry and technical writing. From 1963 to 1988, she was the Alaska correspondent for Reuters International News Service, and also wrote as a stringer for McGraw-Hill and United Press International. A leader in professional organizations, she served as president of the Alaska Press Women from 1970 to 1974, and was recognized as a Woman of Achievement by the National Federation of Press Women in 1982. She was also a charter member of the Anchorage Unitarian Universalist Fellowship. Betzi Woodman died after a traffic accident in Anchorage in 1990.

Lyman L. Woodman was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1913. He enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1931, and was commissioned as a reserve officer in 1936. He married Betsy Dekema in Providence, Rhode Island in 1937. From 1949 to 1953, he edited the U.S. Air Force publication, Air Force Reserved Forces Review. He first came to Alaska in 1953 as the assistant executive and later executive officer of Elmendorf Air Force Base. After retiring from the Air Force in 1959, he returned to Alaska and served in the following positions in Anchorage: Assistant City Manager of Anchorage (1959-1966); Public Information Officer, U.S. Army, Alaska (1966-1974); and Public Affairs Officer, Alaska District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (1974-1980). Woodman was also a long-time member of the Cook Inlet Historical Society, and served as the society’s president in 1969. As a life-long free-lance writer and editor, he wrote primarily on the subject of the military in Alaska. In 1983, he received a grant from the Alaska Historical Society to research and write a three volume military history, Duty Station Northwest: The U.S. Army in Alaska and Western Canada, 1967-1987, which was published in 1996 and 1999. Lyman Woodman died in Anchorage in 1997.
