D-Day veteran Delize O. Honeycutt said he has been a Woodfin resident nearly all of his life. True, he spent some time in Europe fighting Nazi forces during World War II. But, before even enlisting in the U.S. Army, he traveled and lived in the Western United States.
Honeycutt left home at 13 and took to hoping trains to get where he needed to go. "Where I could get a meal was home to me then," Honeycutt remarked. He eventually made his way out West, where he found odd jobs working on oil refineries and taking care of mules. "I like mules because they're lazy like me," he laughed.
Today, his Woodfin Avenue home is still decorated with pictures and portraits inspired from his time spent out West.
