Happy Birthday Phil, 49 and Holding

I always loved this picture, his 3rd birthday I believe, in Texas. Reveals his quirky sense of humor.




Phil always appeared to be optimistic or hopeful at least.




Then the mystery brother goes off to join the Coast Guard. I thought that was very adventurous as I just muddled around here and there. After all these years the investment should pay off if Phil can just talk himself into retirement. I envy his options at this point. Especially being able to work on his house and in the yard without ever having to go to work again!


His beautiful property in Virginia could very well be in the neighborhood where some of the first Wolfs we can trace resided. Phil has been drawn back to the East Coast for reasons of his own, lending to the mystery of a younger sibling whom I never got to know well enough.




Hope you will share some of this exuberance with me in the near future. I love you and hope we can make up for lost time soon.
