Wendell was raised by his uncle Frank and aunt Tilly. They owned one of the little grocery stores where they sold bread, cheese and wine and worked very hard for a very long time. The shop was a focal point of the community and was where everyone would sooner or later see and be scene. That was great for Wendell for he did not have to venture out much but just sit and wait and wait and sit and would all come to Wendell, and Frank and Tilly.
