The three people Dr. Wagner would consider as his mentors and without whom he would never have accomplished so many achievements are:
"Prof. Hans Werner Wendt, born in Germany July 25, 1923. He became a Professor of Psychology and I first met him at Valparaiso University in 1964. He is now retired as an Emeritus Professor at Macalester College, St. Paul, Minn. He used his German contacts to get me my first teaching/research position with Prof. Dr. Peter Orlik of the University of the Saarland in Saarbruecken, Germany. I have remained in close contact with Prof. Wendt and also With Prof. Dr. Peter Orlik."
"Prof. Dr. Peter Orlik, born in Germany May 14, 1934. Dr. Orlik guided me during three teaching/research visits to the University of the Saarland in 1972, 1973-74 and 1981. And again I keep in very close contact with Dr. Orlik. In fact I visit him on each of my annual visits to Germany."
"Prof. Dr. Robert Koenig, born in Germany July 4 1936. He was my mentor during my Fulbright Fellowship in 1989. Prof. Koenig spent his professional career at Justus Liebig University in Giessen, Germany. We engaged in joint research in addition to being exposed to many cultural treasures in Germany. And, again, I kept in very close contact with Dr. Koenig until his untimely death in 2016. In fact, I still make Giessen my central living place on every trip to Germany."
