Just a few months before Hazel Wolf's death, she spoke eloquently at Seattle
First Baptist Church on the topic of "The Women Who Have Influenced My
Life." In the course of that wonderful talk, she mentioned the bird that
started her lifelong love of birds. When she was nine years old, she saw a
Brown Creeper that worked its way up a tree and then flew down and started
over again, always working upwards. With a twinkle in her eye, she mentioned
that it must have been a female, because females in those days were
struggling to achieve their goals in a man's world. It's a wonderful memory
of a very special lady.
