Volkmann, also known as Latrobe’s Paul Harvey, has worked to bring smiles to people’s faces and make them think for a decade through his weekly newspaper column, ‘Off the Wall.”
A Roman Catholic by faith, Volkmann has never been afraid to let his spiritual convictions be shown. Not only is he a fisherman, but also a fisher of men.
Pee Vee or Mr. Pee Vee, as he is called by many, first had his passion for writing sparked in the late 60’s, as editor for a college page at the Ashland Times Gazette, in Ashland, OH.
Volkmann continues to write his “Off the Wall,” as well as an outdoor column, “Inside the Outdoors” for The Latrobe Bulletin (PA.) He also serves as vice president and newsletter editor for the Holy Family Church’s Holy Name Society.
When not at his computer, Volkmann enjoys spending time with his wife, Teri, and their grown children, Kelsey and Aaron.ver menos
