Poetic Obituaries: [Maurice] Wolfson, who lived in Pepper Pike

with his daughter and son-in-law for the past 12 years, was born in Boston, where he first studied violin. He never attended college. Instead, he studied philosophy and poetry on his own and composed.

"He pushed himself with natural talent, because he didn't have the opportunity of conservatory training," [Saralee] Epstein said.

from The Plain Dealer: Maurice Wolfson, 95, violinist with orchestra for 40 years
