Harry Woodward, whose 1961-74 tenure as director of the Colorado Division of Wildlife was the longest in agency history, died recently at his home in Germantown, Tenn. He was 89. Among his many achievements, Woodward promoted a year-round fishing season and the use of blaze orange as a safety measure that sharply reduced hunting accidents. Woodward earlier had served as director of the South Dakota wildlife agency and later as a supervisor for Ducks Unlimited.
