Reds took a group of graduate students, of which I was one, out after Tropical Storm Agnes had passed through Maryland in June 1972. I remember him adopting an abandoned stool as a seat as we prowled around a stream becoming educated in just how powerful water can be. I can't recall who took the picture we see of him there but it captures so much of my memories of him.

Reds is completely the reason for my entire scientific career and much of my personal development. He inspired me to return to graduate school, at Hopkins, and to DOGEE and, as a refugee from an abortive attempt at a PhD in history, he encouraged me through moments of discouragement and ever after challenged me to persevere in tackling the hardest and often most controversial issues. Reds, as the Quakers say, I hold you in my heart and the light still illuminates my way

Abby, I was so sorry to hear of your father's death. Although I did not know him, he was the kind of person I would have liked to know. Please accept my condolences and Ilene's

I am so saddened to here of Dr Wolman’s passing. I worked in Design & Publications at Johns Hopkins, and many years ago worked on a couple projects with Reds. He was one of the finest gentlemen I’ve met in my liftetime. He was not only interesting, but interested in things outside of his field, and in other people. What a great sense of humor he had—dry, but never cruel.
Reds was greatly respected within the entire Hopkins community, and he will forever be remembered and greatly missed by those who had the privilege of knowing him. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

In the late 90's, Reds chaired a committee of the National Research Council on the link between population growth and land use change in the three largest countries of the World, China, India, and the US. The committee members were chosen by the national science academies of the three countries, and thus included highly distinguished Chinese, Indian, and American scientists. I had the good fortune to be the study director. Agreement among the committee members was not always easy to achieve, except on one issue. All were convinced that no one but Reds could have had the diplomatic skills and scientific weight to have led this diverse, energetic and opinionated group to a consensus publication (Growing Populations, Changing Landscapes, NAP, 2001). Our respect for Reds grew faster than the populations under study during the course of this wonderful experience. The scientific community, and we on the committee in particular, will miss him. Our love and condolences to Elaine and the family.

I only spoke to Dr. Wolman once-as it turned out early last week. But I had heard from so many of his students-all who were deeply influenced by not only his teaching, but his support of their vision. My deepest prayers to his family.
March 1, 2010
I can only offer my condolences and echo the sentiments of others in acknowledging Red's exceptional dedication to teaching and to his students. I benefited from his tutelage in the '70s and have cherished his impact on my life ever since.
Deepest sympathies to all,

Dear Elaine and Red's family,
I was a graduate student under Reds in the early 1970's, and I have many fond memories of those days. I especially remember the flume demonstrations he held in your back yard...and your Chesapeake Bay Retriver (although I can't recall his name)! The dinners too were wonderful. I am so sorry to get this news, but I feel truly priveleged to have known Reds and to have studied under him.

Professor Wolman (and though it's 20 some years ago, I can't think of him as anything else) was truly a gentleman and a scholar. He also had a great sense of humor: I'll never forget his air of glee leading a group of undergraduates on a tour of the Middle River Wastewater Treatment Facility, as we all naively followed him through the door of a secondary settlement tank... I think he really enjoyed watching the looks (and colors) that crossed our faces...

Dear Mrs. Wolman,
I was so sorry to learn of Reds' passing. I have never forgotten how kind you and Reds always were to my former husband, Gary Yoshioka, and me during the years Gary was a grad student at Hopkins (1966-72). I have always remembered with fondness the wonderful dinners at your house....there was always great food, great conversation, and great company. I will always have a warm spot in my heart for you both. With love, Susan (Yoshioka) Reed

I worked with Reds on several committees on the Chesapeake. The Hopkins and the Chesapeake have lost a mainstay! My sincere condolences to his family.

Dear Elaine, My wife and I have spent the last 20-some years in Europe and I'm sorry not to have stayed in contact with Reds. Even though I feel that he and I had a special relationship, I know that many of his students feel the same way. To me he was a special man, an inspiring teacher, friend and colleague - he really helped me over some rough spots in my life and I will always be grateful. Much love Elaine, Don Meyers

He was my undergraduate adviser, and, later, my boss at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. However far I've come, I credit his wise, patient, and generous guidance.
