Born in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, thought by many to be part of Canada, he was brought up by a traveling Italian soccer team. It was with his Italian family that he learned how to eat, drink, sing, and be merry! His voice inspired the team so much that they had Wookie sing a song before every game. He set out on his own singing in taverns for his supper and wondering from town to town looking for a home. He was taken in by a group of women once known as “The Rock Goddesses” now known as the "Grand Circus Girls".  They would perform large entertaining shows with Wookie singing his heart out and the girls dancing all night long.

"We shall go on to the end
We shall fight in France
We shall fight in the seas and oceans
We shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air
We shall defend our Island whatever the cost may be
We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields, and in the streets
We shall fight in the hills, we shall never surrender!"
~Winston Churchill
