The biography and photographs on this page have been provided exclusively to us by Chris Waldmann and Heidi Kolstad, the children of Ritchie Boy Captain Eric Waldman. They hope, and we agree, that sharing their fathers story will inspire others to share stories of their family members who were Ritchie Boys. See the [[The Stories/Eric Waldman|full story]].
