    In the 80s, Lee Woulfe was my boss at a Southern California Wendy's. We've stayed in touch, despite not having Facebook in the early years. We reminisce about the positive influence Wendy's had on our lives, how great it was to be in Southern California in the mid-80s, hanging out with the Dead Milkmen, and Lee's time in the Air Force. We even talk a bit about life since then. #Wendys #USAirforce #DeadMilkmen #oonipizzaoven #huntingtonBeachCA #Scouting

  • Kyle Winkler, Zero Waste Wrangler

    I met Kyle when we both worked for the City... he's the one who told me that composting wasn't technically legal and he helped me write the half-page municipal code that finally made composting legal in the City of Pittsburgh in 2019!!

    Kyle is committed to being part of the solution, and with his business, he's making a dent in the diversion of organic waste from landfills.
