Fred Wolf and Calia Mintzer announced their engagement recently, bringing their six-year courtship to an official conclusion. The couple plan to marry on January 24 in Culver City. Mintzer first met Wolf at a Culver City senior dance, and the spark of love was evident from their first twirl around the floor. Calia has been a member of Kentwood Players for 54 years and has been active on stage as well as backstage. She has also been on the board of managers as group sales chairwoman. She has been working at Coldwell Banker Real Estate in Brentwood as a receptionist for 25 years. She has four daughters and 13 grandchildren. Wolf, a Holocaust survivor, is recognizable to many Palisadians for his friendly, outgoing manner as an employee at Gelson’s. After the war, Wolf moved to the newly formed Israel before returning to Germany to reclaim family property. He and his first wife had two children, both of whom now live in the Los Angeles area. For 30 years, Wolf owned and ran the Cork and Bottle liquor store on Lincoln. He sold the business in 1993 and shortly after signed on at Gelson’s. Calia and Fred are looking forward to their honeymoon in Hawaii and to many happy years together with their blended families and wonderful friends.
