Work to be done on the Wolf page:

They suggested I hold onto and further research the non-specific info about Edith Anisfield Wolf's high school and collegiate experience -- they told me the schools, but they don't know when she attended them, nor whether she graduated from them. That may require going directly to the schools for the primary information or
