As a volunteer at the Pines I visited Dr. Wubben for almost three years and the more I got to know him the more I came to repect and admire him. Though poor in vison and limited to his motorized chair he still manage to get around and look after himself very well. He enjoyed talking about all the changes going on in our community and was always very thankful for my visits. He was one of the first residents to move into the Pines and he was quite an original. May God bless him.
