Life-long resident Patrick Woodward shares his family's role in this monumental case that all residents of Rockville should know and be proud of.

Jaime and Suzan recently spent almost two hours talking with Judge Woodward and his wife, Patricia, about Rockville history.

Jaime moved to Rockville in 2013 after separating from Active Duty; he is still an Air Force reservist. He is an attorney and in his civilian career he works for the federal government, with his office located right in Rockville. He lives with his wife and daughter in Twinbrook. When not shuttling his daughter from softball practice, to karate class, or to a swim lesson, you can likely find him at one of the local pickleball courts in the area, as he is an avid (yet surprisingly still mediocre) player.
