I attended Addicks Elementary School from 1957-1962 (grades 1 thru 5). Mr. Wolfe was first superintendent of Addicks ISD--but by the 1950s, there was only an elementary school in the district. So, he also served as principal. (When the school district dissolved, Mr. Wolfe remained as principal. He was a kind, gentle man who loved ALL of his students. I have only fond memories of him. One of those was being asked by Ms. Dixon (assistant principal?) to return to Addicks when the school was renamed for Mr. Wolfe as the Addicks Bobcats became the Wolfe Lobos. This was about 1985. I was by then a faculty member at Texas A&M University (since 1980 and still am today in 2025!). Several of us hid behind a curtain and told our stories in a "Mr. Wolfe, This is Your Life" rendition. Those little elementary-grade students sat quietly (mostly!) while we "did our thing" to let Mr. Wolfe guess who each of us was. Not sure how much fun it was for the students, but it was an absolute joy for one (ME!) who thanks Mr. Wolfe and the teachers at Addicks/Wolfe Elementary for giving me the start on a 53-year-and counting career as a teacher/instructor/professor/ researcher! Mr. Wolfe, thank you for your dedication to the education of so many during your career in education. You were a true servant leader. I'm sure you continue to look down on all of us, your former students/charges, smile, and marvel at your tremendous influence.

Like Ms Thomas, Mr. Wolfe was also my principal at Addicks Elementary in the early 70's. My mom, Jackie Howard, taught art and music under his guidance. We all loved him. He, in fact, bought one of first paintings when I was 12 years old at an art show off of Memorial Drive in Houston. That was very inspirational for me. It was my first floral picture and one of my first sales. Great man!

Mr Wolfe was my principal at Addicks Elementary in the early 1970's. He was beloved by the scores of children who knew him as their leader. He supported his teaching staff with a trust that was earned and appreciated. Several years ago when he was still fulfilling his role as principal, my husband and I dropped by to say 'hello'. He had not changed ..what a joy it was to know he was still serving the school district that he loved. God Bless you Mr Wolfe.
