Early life and education

The son of Canadian parents, Wagner was born in Pueblo, Colorado, in 1908. His parents had briefly moved to Colorado with the hope that the climate would cure his father’s tuberculosis. After his birth, Wagner's parents returned to Plum Coulee in Manitoba, and his father died of consumption when he was eight months old. Wagner played hockey as a child and studied accounting at the University of Manitoba for one year.[2]
