Robert H. Wolfe

Born in Omaha and raised in Lincoln with family ties to Red Cloud, Bob earned a BA in American Studies and a JD from George Washington University. He practiced corporate law with international engineering and construction companies, ultimately serving as General Counsel of Chicago Bridge & Iron Company. Now retired, he resides near The Woodlands, Texas, with his wife, Melissa, and is a father to four. Introduced to Willa Cather’s work by his parents and paternal grandparents, his lifelong interest began at age twelve when his grandmother loaned him A Lost Lady. He has since read all of Cather’s novels and numerous works about her, but repeatedly returns to A Lost Lady for its exceptional style and language.
