So, I should say from the get go that Uncle Wolf wasn’t related to me. Everyone just adopted Wolfram as their uncle. I had the privilege of knowing Uncle Wolf while working at Foothills Summer Camp for four summers during my university years. He and his wife Bonnie were the caretakers at the camp and … [Read more…]
