Wallace "Col. Wally" Wenn, is an auctioneer (Ga. Lic. #2946) and antique dealer today, but his interest in history and "old things" goes back to his growing up days in Portland, Oregon, when he wanted to become a paleontologist and search for fossils the rest of his life. That didn't happen. By the year 1970 he had graduated from Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota, with a B.A. in English. Wally planned on becoming a high school teacher and coach. However, Uncle Sam had different plans, so Wally ended up as a journalist in the U.S. Navy, stationed first in the Philippines and later off the coast of North Vietnam. In the Philippines, he met and married Dellie, and off the coast of Vietnam he did a "Good Morning Vietnam" show and helped produce a daily newspaper for the USS Chicago.
After the service, Wally worked as an Education Director for a large non-profit, then became a grad student in San Diego State University, and began a career in newspaper management.
