Autorenporträt
Marcile B. Woelfel was born in Defiance County in northeastern Ohio, where she graduated from high school. Marcile received a scholarship to attend Capital University in Bexley, Ohio, a suburb of Columbus. Marcile met her future husband, Julian Woelfel when she was a student at Capital when her college roommate decided to go to the Jimmy Rawlins Dance School in downtown Columbus during the summer. Julian and a friend decided to take dance lessons there as well. Julian had an old coupe car and began taking Marcile home after dance class. They dated for two years while Julian finished dental school. Julian and Marcile were married on May 1, 1948, and settled near Ohio State University. Julian and Marcile raised three sons. Bradford Woelfel, the eldest, is a graduate of Ohio State University High School, Oberlin College (B. A.), Ohio State University School of Education (M. A.), and Capital University Law School. Brad worked in Juvenile Court until his retirement. Brad and his wife, Margo, have been married for thirty years and reside in Columbus. The Woelfel's second son, Barry Edwin, attended the New College in Sarasota, Florida, and Ohio State University before moving to California, where he graduated from Sonoma College. Barry received a degree in library science from Berkeley University. Julian's and Marcile's youngest son, Jay Bryan, graduated from the Ohio State University Department of Cinema and Film and moved to the Los Angeles area in California. Jay has been actively involved in the film industry, making his own movies and making sound for other films. Jay and his wife, Kristy, a former Ohio resident, currently reside in Glendale. After the Woelfel family returned from Japan in 1967, Marcile was invited by the Ohio State University Director of Foreign Affairs to become involved in a new program at the university for the wives and children of international students. Ohio State University was experiencing a rapid increase in international students studying for advanced degrees. An International Wives Club was formed to program classes in English, pregnancy, child care, grocery shopping, and many more to assist in assisting the international students and their families' adjustment to adjusting to American culture and lifestyle. Meetings were frequently organized at nearby churches. Marcile Woelfel was the volunteer chairperson for this program for twenty years ending with Julian's 1989 retirement. The International Wives Club was eventually phased out as more spouses of international students preferred to enroll in regular academic courses at Ohio State University. In addition to their extensive international travel in retirement, Julian and Marcile began the extensive restoration of the Pink House in Wellsville, New York. Marcile celebrated her 91st birthday on January 24, 2018.
