Donald Evans Vollmer
-
Don Vollmer, a recently retired Seventh-day Adventist pastor in Southern California, is also an accomplished musician. He is more widely known as a member of the Wedgwood Trio, a male vocal and instrumental ensemble with an international reputation that has played a pivotal role in music in the Adventist church.
One of three children, Don was born during World War II in Takoma Park, Maryland, where his father was serving at the Army War College as a physician to the families of a group of noted Army officers that included Mark Clark, Jonathan Wainwright, and John J. McNair. Shortly after he was born, his father was sent to Europe to be the major in charge of an army hospital that cared for prisoners liberated from the Mathausen concentration camp in Germany. The family moved to North Carolina following the war, when Don was four.
Because his father, Donald Henry, and mother, Mary Louise Evans, as well as an aunt, Dorothy Evans Ackerman, a well-known Adventist singer in the South and a voice teacher at Southern Adventist University for over a quarter of a century, were musically talented he grew up surrounded by music. Even so, in his earlier years, he sang infrequently, although he played baritone horn.
Don attended Mt. Pisgah Academy in Ash
