Dr. Wagner, a commercial pilot, also owns a hot air balloon, The Della Bear, and many Delawareans have silently floated across the Sussex County fields and woods with Dr. Wagner as their pilot.

Dr Wagner lives in Milford with his wife Patt and their animal family which includes their two English Spaniels, Sarah and Max,a dozen laying hens, and of course their new arrivals, two water buffalo named Thelma and Louise.
