Stu Wiseman, one of the Wonder guards, was a cousin of the Wilson family in Gallipolis. His mom was my dad's (Hobat Wilson, Sr.) sister, (Josie).

TheWonders used Frank Wiseman's barn (father of Stu) and Frank had a lot to do with the Wonders making.

Richard Fulks, a Rio Grande College graduate and retired Marshall University professor, has written a book or two on the Wonders. A couple years ago, the Wonders were featured in one of the state tournament programs.

This documentary is very well done and worth watching.
As a sidelight, see the thread I have added about a new
book which has been written about the Waterloo Wonders.
