I first learned about attorney Bruce Wolf through WLUP, the preeminent Chicago radio station back in the day.

Ronnie and Friends with Scott Lawrence

I have known Scott Lawrence since 1996. I can pretty much guess the exact date since he and his family moved into the same neighborhood at the same time that my family did and we all became immediate fast friends.
