Fellow longtime duck hunters and fishers on the Detroit River know Dick Whitwam as “RiverWolf.”
The affectionate nickname feels spot-on as he and his wife, Pat, show me around their yard and home, which they have graciously invited me to for our interview. Even though we are inside for much of our conversation, it feels as if the river has washed up into the house and settled in to stay. Painstakingly hand-painted duck models that Dick has done himself over the years to use as decoys swim at a still on various shelving units around the house.
