BAY HARBOR, MI (AP) --       BAY HARBOR, Mich. (AP) - Green Bay Packers cornerback Charles
Woodson says he was lucky to escape a burning house in Michigan
over the weekend.
      Woodson told The Associated Press in a telephone interview
Wednesday he was at Gwen Haggerty's house in Bay Harbor on Friday
night. It was part of a celebration honring the Ted and Jane Von
Voigtlander Foundation for donating $15 million to name the new
women's hospital at the University of Michigan.
      The former Wolverine says he and other overnight guests were
fortunately still awake when the fire started sometime after 4 a.m.
Saturday.
      Everyone was able to get out of the house without being hurt.
