Update 6/17/2011: This blog post went up before I learned that Anne's mother, Kent Wolfe, passed away the morning of June 15, 2011. The two photos are from the intimate, amazing 40th anniversary party that Anne and her siblings threw for her parents last Saturday. If you know Anne, text her your support + love. Read Kent's remarkable obituary here:
